Answer:

16-fold dilution.

Explanation:

A serial dilution is any dilution where the concentration decrease by the same quantity in each successive step. So, for a 2-fold dilution, the concentration decrease 1/2, it means that if we have a sample with 10 M of concentration, after a 2-fold dilution it will be 5 M. For the next step it will be 1/2 of 5= 2.5 M, and successively.

Then, we just multiply the factor for each dilution. After 4 serial dilutions:

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

So, it would be a 16-fold dilution in the end.

How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?
Dafna1 [17]
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.

Answer:

1. D   2. C   3. B

Explanation:

1. The product is always what is being yielded from the equation, or what is created. Since both 4H2O and 3CO2 are created from the reactants, they are both products of the reaction.

2. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created, nor destroyed. Therefore, C is not true because new atoms cannot be created in a reaction.

3. The second formula is balanced, but the first is not
