7 10pts You need 15mM Tris in a volume of 14mL You have 200m
7. (10pts) You need 15mM Tris in a volume of 14mL. You have 200mM Tris in a stock bottle on your bench.
• What volume of 200mM Tris do you need to make the 14mL of 15mM Tris?
• What volume of water do you need to make the 14mL of 15mM Tris?
8. (20pts) 13mL of 240mM Tris (MW= 121.14g/mol) is added to a tube containing 37mL of dH2O. What is the final molarity of this Tris solution? Show all of your work for full credit.
Solution
1. Solution No.7:
Stock Solution- 200mM, {(Initial Concentration(M1)}
Working Solution- 15mM {(Final Concentration(M2)}, 14 mL {Volume(V2)}
According to formula:
Initial Concentration(M1) X Volume(V1) = Final Concentration(M2) X Volume(V2)
=> 200mM x V = 15mM x 14
=> V = (15 X 14)/ 200
=> V = 1.05 mL
Thus, 1.05 mL from a stock of 200 mM can be taken and 12.95 of distilled water can be added to make up the volume to 14mL of 15 mM working solution. Thus:
Volume of Stock of 200 mM required is = 1.05 mL
Volume of water required is = 12.95 mL
2. Solution No. 8:
Initial Concentration(M1)= 240mM
Volume(V1) = 13mL
Final Concentration(M2)= Let it be \'M\'
Volume(V2)= 37mL( distilled water) + 13mL (Tris solution) = 50 mL
According to formula:
Initial Concentration(M1) X Volume(V1) = Final Concentration(M2) X Volume(V2)
=> 240mM x 13mL = M x 50 mL(37+13= 50)
=> M = (240 X 13)/ 50
=> M = 62.4 mM = 62 mM
Thus, the resulting molarity of the solution will be 62mM.
