8. What was the original concentration in the BHL sample, if the dilution is 1:500 and the concentration 0.07 mg/ml

The original concentration is "35 mg/ml".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The solution is diluted,

= 1:50

The initial volume,

V1 = 1 ml

Final concentration,

= 0.07 mg

then,

The final volume,

V2 = 500 ml

As we know,

⇒

or,

⇒

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      

⇒      

⇒      

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
