The concentration of an unknown must be in the range of the known concentrations. You sometimes must dilute an unknown so that the concentration is lower than thehighest concentration measured for your standard curve.

a. If you dilute 1mL of an unknown solution with 1 mL of water, the dilutedconcentration would be 1mL in a total of 2mL of solution. How would this affect the concentration? What is the dilution factor?

b. One would then have to reverse this process when reporting the original concentrationof the unknown solution. What factor would be used to calculate the originalconcentration?

c. If 1mL of unknown solution was diluted to 10mL final volume, what is the dilutionfactor? How would one calculate the original concentration?

d. If 2 mL of unknown solution was diluted to 5mL final volume, what is the dilutionfactor? How would one calculate the original concentration?

Expert Solution

a) When a solution's concentration is reduced, it is called dilution. Dilution factor is the total amount of solution per aliquot volume. It is the ratio of the final volume to the initial volume.

if you dilute 1 ml of an unknown solution with 1 ml of water then the concentration of the unknown solution will be half of its initial concentration.

dilution factor = final volume / initial volume = 2/1=2

b) you have to multiply 2 to get the original concentration.

c)if 1ml of unknown solution was diluted to 10 ml final volume then the dilution factor will be 10/1=10

to get the original concentration you have to multiply the dilution factor to the concentration which you will get after dilution.in this case you have to multiply 10 with the resultant concentration to get the original concentration.

d))if 2ml of unknown solution was diluted to 5 ml final volume then the dilution factor will be 5/2=2.5

to get the original concentration you have to multiply the dilution factor to the concentration which you will get after dilution.in this case you have to multiply 2.5 with the resultant concentration to get the original concentration.

You have a protein of an unknown concentration but you know that the range is 0.2 mg/mL to 2 mg/mL. You know that typically amounts around 10 µg give a good result on an SDS-PAGE gel. You have 9 wells (1 ladder and 9 others). Using 5 wells, how would you design an experiment to look at the effect of amount of protein loaded on the band appearance on the gel? Remember that you are mixing 10 µL of sample...

You have a protein of unknown concentration (23,503 Daltons), and you want to determine its concentration using the Bradford assay. You prepare a standard curve by making dilutions of a standard protein solution at 10 mg/mL, using the volumes noted below as “μL stock”, and then adding water to a final volume of 1 mL for each of the dilutions (this is also what you did in Lab 1). You add 10 μL of each dilution to 990 μL of...

You have a sample consisting of unknown concentrations of methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol. That is, you have one jar that contains all three of these chemicals. You don’t know the concentrations of the chemicals. You also have individual 100% solutions of methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol. So, one jar of 100% methanol, one jar of 100% ethanol, one jar of 100% 1- propanol. You have methylene chloride to use as a solvent. determining the concentration of each alcohol in your unknown...

You have a viral stock of an unknown concentration and you want to determine the titer of the virus by plaque assay. Your lab mate has VERO cells growing in the lab and you decide to use them for a plaque assay. After infection with a range of dilutions, none of the plates showed plaques. Give 2 possible reasons why you did not get any plaques. You repeat the plaque assay using CHO as the target cells this time. You...

Suppose you are titrating an acid of unknown concentration with a standardized base. At the beginning of the titration, you read the base titrant volume as 1.99 ml. After running the titration and reaching the endpoint, you read the base titrant volume as 20,54 ml. What volume, in ml, of base was required for the titration?

(b) You will titrate 25.00mL of Histidine dihydrochloride solution of unknown concentration with the secondary standard NaOH. Use a value of 0.025M Histidine dihydrochloride to estimate the volume of NaOH required to completely deprotonate the histidine dihydrochloride. The concentration of NaOH is .1254 M. This calculated volume is an estimate of the third equivalence point. Use this value to estimate the first and second equivalence point volumes. (c) Calculate the volumes at ~75% and ~90% of the three approximated equivalence...
