Questions: 1. You weigh 1.0 gram of protein and dissolve it in 1.0 mL of water to make a stock solution with a concentration of 1 gram / mL.
1a. (3pts) Using your 1g/mL stock solution (Hint: C1), you wish to make 100mL of a 10 mg/mL solution. (Hint: V2 and C2) How do you make this working solution? What is the DF for this dilution? (Hint: Review how to calculate DF in lab manual.)
Volume Stock: 1mL, Final Volume: 100mL, D.F.: 100
1b. (6pts) You also wish to make 10mL of a 0.01 mg/mL solution. (Hint: NEW V2 and C2). Calculate the two different ways to make this solution.
10mL of 0.01mg/mL from 1g/ml stock: Volume Stock 1x10^-4mL, Final Volume 10mL, D.F. 10^5
10mL of 0.01mg/mL from 10mg/ml stock: Volume Stock 0.01mL, Final Volume 10mL, D.F. 100
1c. (1pt) Which solution is a better choice to make the 0.01 mg/mL? In the second dilution is a better choice to make the 0.01mg/mL because there the volume of stock needed to make the final volume is greater than the other.
