Hello all, I just want to confirm that I am on the right track for a certain question regarding dilution and concentration
Q: Addition of 2uL of 50mM NaCl to a 30 uL reaction gives a final NaCl concentration of ______ M.
Attempt:
so because you add 2uL to 30uL, the dilution is (2 / 2+30) = 1/16
Then I multiplied the dilution with the concentration for the new concentration
1/16 x 50mM = 3.125 mM
Finally, I converted the mM back to M
3.125 mM (1mol / 1000mmol)
answer = 3.125 x 10^-3M
does this look ok?
thank you in advance
