So in this question, you're going to prepare for a sample, a protein sample for a bradford assay.
00:09
So to have a accurate reading, the protein concentration must be between 0 .1 to 1 .0 milligram per millimeter of protein.
00:20
So if you suspect that there is a sample that contains about 5 milligram per millimeter of protein, how can you dilute the sample to a 0 .5 milligram per millimeter? so we know that the final volume of the dilution should be 1 ,000.
00:36
So to calculate this dilution, we can use this formula, c1 times v1 equals c2 times v2.
00:46
So what is each of those c1, v1, c2, and v2? c1 stands for the original concentration.
00:55
In our case, it's the concentration of the sample of 5 milligram per millimeter.
01:01
V1 is the sample you want to take out from that stock, which is unknown in this case.
01:09
C2 is the final concentration that you want to dilute to.
01:13
So according to the question, you want to dilute to the final concentration of 0 .5 milligram per mil -liter.
01:22
And v2 is the final volume.
01:24
In this case, according to the question, the final volume is 1 militer.
01:29
So we plug in c1, c2, and v2, and try to solve for v1...
