a formula calls for 0.4 ml of a coloring solution. you have a 5 ml graduate calibrated from 1-5 ml in 1 ml units. assuming 5 is your multiple, how many ml of water, as your diluent, will you need to obtain the desired quantity of the coloring solution? (part 1 of 1)



Answer :

3ml will contain 0.4 ml of coloring solution.

The given formula calls for 0.4 mL of a coloring solution

5-mL graduate calibrated from 1 to 5 mL in 1-mL units

Now,

We want to use an aliquot technique to measure 0.4 ml of coloring solution.

As the calibrated graduate is used to measure 1ml to 5ml with 1ml as a unit measure

let us add 2.6 mL of water in 0.4 ml of coloring solution

total volume of solution = 2.4 + 0.6 = 3 mL

therefore,

0.4 mL of coloring solution now includes = 2.6ml of water

or

1 mL of coloring solution includes = 4mL of water

Hence measure 3 mL of coloring solution with water that is formed

Therefore, this 3 mL will contain 0.4 mL of coloring solution.
