For this:

  1. Calculate “Moles” by this formula: Moles = Molarity (M) x Volume (L)
  2. Calculate “Mass” using this formula: Mass (g) = Moles x Molar mass (g/mol) Note: You can find molar mass on the reagent bottle or google it.
  3. Dissolve the obtained Mass in the volume.

How do you make a micromolar solution?

(i) The first dilution. For a 1:100 dilution, add 1 mL of the stock solution to 99 mL solvent. (ii) The second dilution. Add 1 mL of the 10 mmol/L solution to 99 mL solvent.

How do you prepare different concentrations of solutions?

Solutions of known concentration can be prepared either by dissolving a known mass of solute in a solvent and diluting to a desired final volume or by diluting the appropriate volume of a more concentrated solution (a stock solution) to the desired final volume.

How do you prepare stock concentration?

A stock solution is prepared by weighing out an appropriate portion of a pure solid or by measuring out an appropriate volume of a pure liquid, placing it in a suitable flask, and diluting to a known volume. Exactly how one measure’s the reagent depends on the desired concentration unit.

How do you make a 10 micromolar solution?

take 700 uL from the solution (your org comp dissolved in water) and pour it in a separate vial (2 mL) and add 300 uL of water in it. Now you have 1 mL of your stock with a molarity of 10 mM.

What is micromolar concentration?

Listen to pronunciation. (MY-kroh-MOH-ler) A concentration of 1/1,000,000 (one millionth) molecular weight per liter (mol/L).

How do you make 10 micromolar solutions?

How do you make a 5 concentration solution?

For example: Mix 500 mL of water and 25 g of NaCl to make a 5% solution. Remember, if you’re diluting a liquid compound, you must subtract out the volume of liquid being added from the final volume: 500 mL – 25 mL = 475 mL of water. Clearly label the container with both the chemical and the concentration.

How do you make a 0.01 molar solution?

To prepare a 0.01M NaOH solution –

  1. Dilute a standardised 0.1 M NaOH solution by a factor of 10.
  2. or, Dilute a non standardised 0.1 M NaOH solution by a factor of 10 and then standardise.
  3. or, dissolve 0.4 gm NaOH in 1 L of distilled water (a less accurate option also requiring standardisation)

How do you create different concentrations from a stock solution?

To make a dilution, you simply add a small quantity of a concentrated stock solution to an amount of pure solvent. The resulting solution contains the amount of solute originally taken from the stock solution but disperses that solute throughout a greater volume.

How do you dilute 100mm to 10mM?

See below for the dilution factor equations. For example, if a 100 mM stock solution is diluted to yield a 10 mM solution, the resulting dilution factor is 10. For this particular dilution, it can also be said that the stock solution was diluted 10-fold.
