1. A 150 mM glucose stock is diluted 10 times in series, mixing 50 µL of glucose and 25 µL of water each time. What are the glucose concentrations in wells # 3, 7 and 10?
150mM stock glucose solution = moles of glucose/ volume of solution
every time 50uL of this is mixed with 25uL water.
so, moles of glucose = 150mM * 50uL = 7.5u moles
so, concentration in well1 = 7.5u moles / (25uL+50uL) =0.1M
so, moles of glucose = 0.1M * 50uL = 5u moles
So, concentration in well3 = 150m *50/75 *50/75 * 50/75 =
44.44mM
so,general formula = 150mM * (50/75)^n
where n is the number of well
So, concentration in well7 = 150m *50/75)^7= 8.78mM
So, concentration in well10 = 150m *50/75)^10= 2.6mM
