Q

rounding sig figs -if number to be dropped is five

A

you look at the number before 5 and you go to the nearest even number so 2.5 rounded to 2 and 1.5 is rounded to 2 as well

  • number to be rounded increases by one if odd number
  • number to be rounded stays the same if even number.

Q

% weight per volume

A

%w/v=grams per 100ml of solution
used to express the concentration of solutions when a solid solute is mixed with a liquid solvent
-amount of solute placed in vessel and enough solvent added to desired volume- diluting to a final volume.

Q

how would you perform calculation of % weight per volume

A

% weight is used as grams over 100ml and then that is = x amount of grams ( what you are looking for) over your desired volume then you would cross multiple to determine how many grams of solute you’d need

Q

what is % volume per volume

A

%v/v= mL per 100mL of solution

  • expresses concentration and is used when a solution is a liquid solute in a liquid solvent.
  • When making the desired volume of solute is placed in the graduated cylinder or flask then the solvent is added to the desired total volume - kind of like a dilution -same ratio as %w/v

Q

how to calculate% v/v

A

the concentration that you want or desire is put over 100ml to make that percent of solution then the concentration of the total volume of the solution that you want, then you’d solve for the amount of liquid that you need to add to the amount of volume that you want to get the concentration that you want
ex: 200 ml of 60% alcohol
you would do 60/100=x/200

Q

how would you prepare 250ml of 95% ethanol

A

Q

molar solutions

A
  • mole is gram molecular weight of a substance
  • one mole contains 6.022 x10 exponent 23 particles. and it is weight in grams
  • molar mass is on periodic table – it is the elements number so you can find the molar mass of KNO3 by adding the values together.

Q

what dilution is made if 5ml of absolute ethanol added to 20ml of distilled water

Q

when are patient specimens diluted

A

when analyze is too high to measure ( so this would mean that the instrument can’t pick it up) if 1/2 dilution is made to patients serum and the result was 16mmol this is technically incorrect, you need to correct the dilution.

Q

how to correct dilution made on patient sample 1/2 dilution of patient serum, result is 17mmol/L

A

dilution concentration x dilution factor= original concentration
-the dilution factor would be the flipped fraction
17mmol/l x 2/1 = 34mmol/L and this value can be reported

Q

how to change concentration

A

a stronger solution is diluted to make a specific amount of a weaker solution. the volume of one solution times the concentration of that solution equals the volume of the second solution times the concentration of the second solution-mumbojumbo
V(stronger)xC(stronger)=V(weaker)xC(weaker)
or V1C1=V2C2
INVERSE RELATIONSHIP
if the concentration is absolute you would use the v/v ratio to solve the problem.

how much 30% v/v alcohol is required to make 100ml of 3% alcohol, how to set up problem?

VsCs=VwCw
we dont know the volume of the stronger solution needed to make this
vs(30%)=(3%)(100) then you’d solve for the volume of the stronger solution
