If .1ml of serum, 5ml of reagent and 4.9ml of distilled water are mixed together what is the dilution of the serum in the final solution
From 0.1 mL to (0.1+5+4.9) = 0.1 to 10 or the dilution factor is 10/0.1 = 100
1:100
Ah, dilution! Let's do some math while wearing a silly clown wig, shall we?
To find the dilution of the serum in the final solution, we need to consider the ratio of the serum to the total volume.
We have 0.1 ml of serum, which is a teeny tiny amount compared to the total volume of 10 ml (5 ml reagent + 4.9 ml distilled water).
So, the dilution of the serum would be 0.1 ml divided by 10 ml, which gives us 0.01.
In other words, the serum is diluted 100 times in the final solution. That's like trying to find a serious answer from a goofy clown like me—quite diluted indeed!
To calculate the dilution of the serum in the final solution, we need to determine the ratio of the volume of serum to the volume of the final solution.
The volume of the final solution is obtained by adding the volumes of the serum, reagent, and distilled water: 0.1ml (serum) + 5ml (reagent) + 4.9ml (distilled water) = 10ml.
To calculate the dilution, we divide the volume of the serum by the volume of the final solution: 0.1ml (serum) / 10ml (final solution) = 0.01.
Therefore, the dilution of the serum in the final solution is 1:100 (0.01). This means that the serum is diluted 1 part in 100 parts of the final solution.
To determine the dilution of the serum in the final solution, we need to calculate the total volume of the final solution.
The total volume is obtained by adding the volumes of the serum, reagent, and distilled water. In this case, the serum has a volume of 0.1 ml, the reagent has a volume of 5 ml, and the distilled water has a volume of 4.9 ml.
Therefore, the total volume of the final solution is:
0.1 ml (serum) + 5 ml (reagent) + 4.9 ml (distilled water) = 10 ml
Now, we need to calculate the dilution of the serum in the final solution.
The dilution can be calculated by dividing the volume of the serum by the total volume of the final solution, and then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage.
In this case, the dilution of the serum would be:
(0.1 ml / 10 ml) x 100 = 1%
Therefore, the dilution of the serum in the final solution is 1%.
