- A.
2mL
- B.

- C.
200mL
- D.
0.005
Correct Answer
A. 2mLExplanation
THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
a/ (a+b) x total volume.
typically we are mixing two fluids lets say a and b to make a total solution (a+b)
a is the volume or number of parts a
b is the volume or number of parts b
a+b represents the total solution
for percent solutions
a % means "a parts out of 100 total parts"
a+b which represents total parts =100 (the question does not have to give us b)
a/(a+b) = a/100
a/(a+b) x total volume for percent I= a/100 x total volume.
a/100 = 1/100, total volume is 200mL.
the volume of bleach concentrate needed is 1/100 x 200mL
1 divide by 100 = 0.01
0.01 multiplied by 200 = 2mLRate this question:

THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
a/ (a+b) x total volume.
lets say
a(substance of interest) is bleach and b is water
a = 1, b = 9, a+b = 10.
(we used "a" to represent bleach and not water because bleach is our substance of interest)
(we know that bleach is our substance of interest because we are making a bleach solution and not a water solution - the question told us that)
a = 1, b = 9, a+b = 10.
a/(a+b) = 1/(1+9) = 1/10
total volume is 50mL.
the volume of bleach concentrate needed is (1/10) x 50mL

THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
lets say

(we used "a" to represent bleach and not water because bleach is our substance of interest)
(we know that bleach is our substance of interest because we are making a bleach solution and not a water solution - the question told us that)
ratios are written as "part to total"
this means ratio (a to total)
which is the same as ratio "a : total", where total =a +b
which means ratio a:a+b
ratio a:a+b can be rewritten as a/(a+b)
volume required = a/ (a+b) x total volume.
a/(a+b) = 2/(2+3) = 2/5
total volume is 1000mL.

THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
dilution type is ratio (part:total) =(parts out of total) = (1 part bleach out of 10 parts total)
lets say
a(substance of interest) is bleach and b is water
a = 1, a+b = 10
(we used "a" to represent bleach and not water because bleach is our substance of interest)
(we know that bleach is our substance of interest because we are making a bleach solution and not a water solution - the question told us that)
ratios are written as "part : total"
this means ratio (a : total)
ratio "a:total" can be rewritten as "a parts / total parts"
volume required = a parts/ (total parts) x total volume.
a/(total) = 1/(10)
total volume is 250mL.
the volume of bleach concentrate needed is (1/10) x 250mL
1 divided by 10 = 0.10

THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
dilution type is ratio (part:total) =(parts out of total) = (1 part bleach out of 5 parts total)
lets say
a(substance of interest) is bleach and b is water

AN INITIAL CONCENTRATION HAS BEEN GIVEN, THEREFORE THE EQUATION TO BE USED IS
C1 X V1 = C2 X V2

THE #2 REPRESENTS DILUTED SIDE OF TEH EQUATION (WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE)
C1 = THE CONCENTRATION OF THE CONCENTRATE
V1 = THE VOLUME (L, GALLONS, mL, uL, dL) OF THE CONCENTRATE NEEDED TO MAKE OUR DILUTION (FOR EXAMPLE TWO CUPS OR GALLONS OR mL, OR TEASPOONS OF FROZEN CONCENTRATED LEMONADE MIGHT BE NEEDED TO MAKE A LOT OF DILUTED LEMONADE).

THIS IS A DILUTION QUESTION, WHERE WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN INITIAL CONCENTRATION. THEREFORE, WE WOULD USE THE EQUATION
a/ (a+b) x total volume.
typically we are mixing two fluids lets say a and b to make a total solution (a+b)
a is the volume or number of parts a

a+b represents the total solution
for percent solutions
a % means "a parts out of 100 total parts"
a+b which represents total parts =100 (the question does not have to give us b SINCE WE HAVE TOTAL ALREADY)
a/(a+b) = a/100
a/(a+b) x total volume (for percent) = a/100 x total volume.

HOW COULD A 1 TO 25 DILUTION OF BLOOD BE PREPARED
- A.
ONE PART BLOOD MIXED WITH 24 PARTS SALINE
- B.
ONE PART BLOOD MIXED WITH 25 PARTS SALINE
Correct Answer
A. ONE PART BLOOD MIXED WITH 24 PARTS SALINEExplanation
A 1 to 25 dilution of blood can be prepared by mixing one part of blood with 24 parts of saline. This means that for every one unit of blood, there should be 24 units of saline. This dilution is used to reduce the concentration of blood in a sample, making it easier to analyze or perform certain tests. By diluting the blood with saline, the volume of the sample is increased while maintaining the appropriate ratio of blood to saline.Rate this question:

HOW COULD A 1:10 DILUTION OF SERUM BE PREPARED?
- A.
ONE PART SERUM, 10 PART SALINE

Correct Answer
B. ONE PART SERUM, NINE PART SALINEExplanation
A 1:10 dilution of serum can be prepared by mixing one part of serum with nine parts of saline. This means that for every one unit of serum, nine units of saline are added to create a total volume of ten units. This dilution is commonly used in laboratory settings to reduce the concentration of a substance, in this case, serum, while maintaining the overall volume.Rate this question:

I WAS TOLD TO EXPLAIN HOW I WOULD SET UP AN EQUATION FOR HOW MUCH ALCOHOL IS NEEDED TO MAKE A 10% SOLUTION FOR ANY GIVEN VOLUME. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS TRUE
- A.
10 X TOTAL VOLUME
- B.
10 /TOTAL VOLUME
- C.
TOTAL/10
- D.
(10/100) x TOTAL VOLUME
Correct Answer
D. (10/100) x TOTAL VOLUMEExplanation
VOLUME OF ALCOHOL NEEDED = a/a+b x TOTAL VOLUME
10 % = 10 parts out of 100 total parts.
such that
PART "a" = 10 (alcohol only)
TOTAL "a+b" = 100 (alcohol plus dilution fuid)
EQUATION FOR VOLUME NEEDED =
a/a+b x TOTAL VOLUME
AFTER SUBSTITUTING VALUES INTO THE EQUATION,
VOLUME NEEDED = (10/100) x TOTAL VOLUMERate this question:
