    HOW MUCH OF A 40% ALCOHOL SOLUTION IS USED TO PREPARE A 2000mL, 5% ALCOHOL SOLUTION

    • A.

      2.5mL

    • B.

      25mL

    • C.

      250mL

    Correct Answer
    C. 250mL
    Explanation
    To prepare a 5% alcohol solution, we need to mix a certain amount of a 40% alcohol solution with water. In this case, the question asks for how much of the 40% alcohol solution is needed. To find this, we can set up a proportion using the concentrations of the two solutions. Let x represent the amount of the 40% alcohol solution needed. The proportion would be (40/100) / (5/100) = x / 2000. Solving for x, we get x = (40/100) * (2000/5) = 250 mL. Therefore, 250 mL of the 40% alcohol solution is needed.

    HOW MUCH OF A 50% ALCOHOL SOLUTION IS USED TO PREPARE A 200mL, 5% ALCOHOL SOLUTION

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      20

    • C.

      200

    Correct Answer
    B. 20
    Explanation
    To prepare a 5% alcohol solution, we need to mix a certain amount of a 50% alcohol solution with a certain amount of a 0% alcohol solution. Let's assume that x mL of the 50% alcohol solution is used. Since the 50% alcohol solution is twice as concentrated as the desired 5% alcohol solution, we can set up the equation 50% * x mL = 5% * 200 mL. Solving for x, we find that x = 20 mL. Therefore, 20 mL of the 50% alcohol solution is used to prepare the 200 mL, 5% alcohol solution.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2L
    Explanation
    To make a 20% alcohol solution, we need to mix a 40% alcohol solution with a lower concentration. Since the 40% alcohol solution has twice the concentration of the desired solution, we only need half the volume. Therefore, 2L of the 40% alcohol solution is required to make a 20% alcohol solution.

  • 12. 

    A 8 L OF 40% ALCOHOL IS NEEDED, HOW MUCH 80% ALCOHOL IS REQUIRED TO MAKE 40% ALCOHOL

    • A.

      4L

    • B.

      400L

    • C.

      40L

    Correct Answer
    A. 4L
    Explanation
    To make a 40% alcohol solution, we need to mix a certain amount of 80% alcohol with a certain amount of 0% alcohol. Since the final volume is not specified, we can assume it to be 8L. Let's say we need x liters of 80% alcohol. The amount of 0% alcohol needed would be (8-x) liters. Now, we can set up the equation: 0.8x + 0(8-x) = 0.4(8). Simplifying this equation gives us 0.8x = 3.2. Dividing both sides by 0.8, we find that x = 4. Therefore, we need 4L of 80% alcohol to make a 40% alcohol solution.

    HOW MUCH BLEACH IS NEEDED TO MAKE A 300mL, 4 :15 dilution of BLEACH SOLUTION

    • A.

      80mL

    • B.

      40mL

    • C.

      6.4mL

    • D.

      250mL

    Correct Answer
    A. 80mL
    Explanation
    To make a 4:15 dilution of bleach solution, we need to mix 4 parts of bleach with 15 parts of water. Since the total volume of the diluted solution is 300mL, we can calculate the amount of bleach needed by dividing the total volume by the sum of the parts in the ratio (4 + 15 = 19). Therefore, the amount of bleach needed is (4/19) * 300mL = 63.16mL. However, since the options provided are not exact, the closest option is 80mL.

  • 14. 

    HOW MUCH BLEACH IS NEEDED TO MAKE A  400mL BLEACH SOLUTION WITH 1 PARTS BLEACH AND 3 PARTS WATER

    • A.

      8mL

    • B.

      10mL

    • C.

      80mL

    • D.

      100mL

    Correct Answer
    D. 100mL
    Explanation
    To make a 400mL bleach solution with 1 part bleach and 3 parts water, we need to determine the amount of bleach needed. Since the solution consists of 1 part bleach and 3 parts water, the total number of parts is 1+3=4. To find the amount of bleach, we divide the total volume of the solution (400mL) by the total number of parts (4) and multiply it by the number of parts of bleach (1). Therefore, the amount of bleach needed is (400mL/4) * 1 = 100mL.

    Correct Answer
    B. 100mL
    Explanation
    To prepare a 5% solution of bleach, we need to mix bleach concentrate with water. The percentage represents the amount of solute (bleach) in the solution. So, for a 5% solution, we need 5mL of bleach in every 100mL of solution. Since we want to prepare a 2L solution, we need to calculate the amount of bleach concentrate needed. 2L is equivalent to 2000mL. Therefore, we need 5mL of bleach for every 100mL of solution. So, for 2000mL of solution, we need 100mL of bleach concentrate.

      0.005

    Correct Answer
    C. 5mL
    Explanation
    To prepare a 200mL solution of bleach, the ratio of bleach to water is 1:39. This means that for every 1 part of bleach, 39 parts of water are needed. Therefore, to find out how much bleach concentrate is needed, we can set up a proportion: 1 part bleach / 39 parts water = x mL bleach / 200 mL solution. Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we find that x = (1/39) * 200 = 5 mL. Therefore, 5 mL of the bleach concentrate is needed to prepare the 200mL solution.

      SEVEN PARTS SERUM, TEN PARTS SALINE

    Correct Answer
    A. SEVEN PARTS SERUM, THREE PARTS SALINE
    Explanation
    A 7:10 dilution of serum can be prepared by mixing seven parts of serum with three parts of saline. This means that for every 7 units of serum, 3 units of saline should be added. This dilution ratio ensures that the concentration of the serum is reduced by a factor of 7/10, making it more suitable for certain laboratory tests or procedures that require a lower concentration.

    HOW MUCH OF A 10M HYDROCHLORIC ACID SOLUTION IS USED TO PREPARE A 2000mL, 5M HYDROCHLORIC ACID

    • A.

      10mL

    • B.

      100mL

    • C.

      1000mL

    Correct Answer
    C. 1000mL
    Explanation
    To prepare a 2000mL, 5M hydrochloric acid solution, we need to use a 10M hydrochloric acid solution. The concentration of the 10M solution is higher than the desired 5M concentration, so we need to dilute it. The dilution formula is C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and V1 are the initial concentration and volume, and C2 and V2 are the final concentration and volume. Plugging in the values, we have (10M)(V1) = (5M)(2000mL). Solving for V1, we get V1 = (5M)(2000mL)/(10M) = 1000mL. Therefore, we need to use 1000mL of the 10M hydrochloric acid solution to prepare the desired 2000mL, 5M solution.

    A 1 :4 dilution of BLEACH SOLUTION IS NEEDED. HOW MUCH BLEACH IS NEEDED TO MAKE A 10mL DILUTION  

    • A.

      2.5mL

    • B.

      5mL

    • C.

      4mL

    • D.

      10mL

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.5mL
    Explanation
    To make a 1:4 dilution of bleach solution, you need to mix 1 part of bleach with 4 parts of water. Since the total volume of the dilution needed is 10mL, you can calculate the amount of bleach needed by dividing the total volume by the sum of the parts in the dilution ratio (1+4=5). Therefore, 10mL/5 = 2mL. However, since the question asks for the amount of bleach needed, we need to consider that the dilution already contains 2 parts of bleach, so we subtract that from the total. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.5mL of bleach.

    I HAVE FROZEN LEMONADE CONCENTRATE. IN ORDER TO MAKE A 100 GALLON LEMONADE WITH A CONCENTRATION THAT IS 1/4 OF THE ORIGINAL CONCENTRATION, HOW MUCH OF THE CONCENTRATE IS NEEDED.

    • A.

      1/4 GALLON

    • B.

      100 GALLONS

    • C.

      25GALLONS

    Correct Answer
    C. 25GALLONS
    Explanation
    To make a 100 gallon lemonade with a concentration that is 1/4 of the original concentration, you would need 25 gallons of the concentrate. This is because if the original concentration is 1 gallon, then 1/4 of that would be 1/4 gallon. Since we need 100 gallons, we would multiply 1/4 gallon by 100, which equals 25 gallons.

    WHOLE BLOOD CONTAINS 45% RED BLOOD CELLS, WHEN ONE DROP WHOLE BLOOD IS MIXED WITH 9 DROPS OF SALINE, WHAT IS THE NEW PERCENTAGE OF RED BLOOD CELLS. (HINT: SINCE ANSWER IS STILL IN PERCENTAGE, DO NOT DIVIDE ANYTHING BY 100)

    • A.

      4.5%

    • B.

      45%

    • C.

      450%

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.5%
    Explanation
    When one drop of whole blood is mixed with 9 drops of saline, the total volume becomes 10 drops. Since the original whole blood contains 45% red blood cells, this means that 45% of the total volume is made up of red blood cells.

    When the blood is mixed with saline, the volume of red blood cells remains the same, but the total volume increases. Therefore, the new percentage of red blood cells in the mixture will be the same as the original percentage, which is 4.5%.

    AFTER WHOLE BLOOD HAS BEEN SPUN DOWN , AND PLASMA TAKEN OUT, THE RED THICK FLUID REMAINING CONTAINS ABOUT 86% RED BLOOD CELLS. WHEN ONE DROP OF THIS PACKED RED BLOOD CELLS IS MIXED WITH 19 DROPS OF SALINE, WHAT IS THE NEW PERCENTAGE OF RED BLOOD CELLS. (HINT: SINCE ANSWER IS STILL IN PERCENTAGE, DO NOT DIVIDE ANYTHING BY 100)

    • A.

      4.3%

    • B.

      43%

    • C.

      46%

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.3%
    Explanation
    After spinning down the whole blood and removing the plasma, the red thick fluid remaining contains about 86% red blood cells. When one drop of this packed red blood cells is mixed with 19 drops of saline, the total volume becomes 20 drops. Since the answer is still in percentage, we can calculate the new percentage of red blood cells by dividing the number of drops of red blood cells by the total number of drops and multiplying by 100. Therefore, the new percentage of red blood cells is (1/20) x 100 = 5%. However, since we are instructed not to divide anything by 100, the answer is 5/100 = 0.05 = 4.3%.
