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.

A volume measured by a graduated cylinder that was marked in 100 mL
Natali [406]

The volume measured using such a cylinder will be reported to the nearest 10th mL.

<h3>Cylinder graduation</h3>

10 mL graduated cylinders are always read to the nearest two decimal places.

100 mL graduated cylinders are always read to the nearest 1 decimal place. The nearest 1 decimal place is the same thing as the nearest 10th.

Thus, a reading made using a 100mL increment graduated cylinder would be reported to the nearest 10th mL.

Why can’t there be a temperature lower than absolute zero
Firdavs [7]
Atoms cannot physically get more compact (temperature lowering increases the space between atoms) At absolute zero, the atoms are as physically close together as allowed by the physical laws governing it.

How does a planet’s motion affect its length of day and year? <br> PLEASEEEE HELPPPP!!!!
Tom [10]

the time it take for a planet to rotate on its axis makes up its day so if it were slower the day would be longer like earth, it take about 24 hours to make one full rotation.

Now for a year the distance from its star is the largest factor, because the further out the longer it takes to revolve around it, thus making a longer year.
