Answer:

0.1 g/dl

Explanation:

The standard curve is a graph that relates the absorbance at 400 nm with the concentration of haemoglobin in mg/dl. To obtain the concentration from the absorbance value, we enter in the x-axis (absorbance at 400 nm) with the value 0.40 (the line between 0.2 and 0.6), we extrapolate the line to the curve and read the correspondent value on y-axis (concentration in mg/dl): 100 mg/dl.

So, we convert the concentration from mg/dl to g/dl by dividing into 1000:

100 mg/dl x 1 g/1000 mg = 0.1 g/dl

Therefore, the concentration of haemoglobin of the patient is 0.1 g/dl.

The two methods in the lab for measuring the volume of a geometric solid object are weighing it on the balance and measuring it

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Measuring with a ruler and using final volume minus initial volume

Explanation:

You can measure the volume of a geometric object by measuring its sides with a ruler and calculating the volume according to the corresponding formula for each object. For example, for a rectangular prism it would be

$volume=length*width*height$

You can also measure the volume of an object by measuring how much water it displaces. To do this you have to fill a measuring cylinder with enough water for the object to be completely submerged and take note of the volume. Then, add the object and note again the volume of the water+object. The difference between both is the volume of the object.

$Volume of the object= volume of water and object - volume of water$
