The stock solution is 100 μM the protocol calls for 10 mL solution of 80, 60, 40 and 20 μM. Compute the table. Target Concentration(μM) Volume of stock(mL) Volume of water(mL)20406080

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the dilution equation:

m1v1 = m2v2

m1 =100 μM, v1 = ?, v2 = 10 mL

In order to prepare 80 μM, then m2 = 80 μM

v1 = = 8 mL

In order to prepare 60 μM

v1 = = 6 mL

In order to prepare 40 μM

v1 = = 4 mL

In order to prepare 20 μM

v1 = = 2 mL

Since the final solution has to be up to the 10 mL mark, the complete table would be:

Target Concentration(μM)       Volume of stock(mL)        Volume of water(mL)

              20                                           2                                            8

              40                                           4                                             6

              60                                           6                                             4

              80                                           8                                             2

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
