Data analysis If we call each step on the x-axis one volume of base, how many volumes of base must be added to change the pH from 4 to 6?
To determine: The volumes of the base need to add on the x-axis to change the pH from 4 to 6.
Introduction: Buffer solution is an aqueous solution that contains a solution of a weak acid and connected base. All living cells and fluid present in the multicellular organism contain a neutral pH.
Explanation of Solution
The basicity of the solution depends upon the ion concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions. Every basic solution has a pH value above 7. The range of basic solution in pH scale lies above 7 till 14. A basic solution is required to neutralize the acid present in the solution that helps to increase the pH. Every step on the x-axis consisting of one volume of base. Therefore, the pH change from 4 to 6 on the x-axis is required two-volume of the base.

- 2. 0.1 mL of a protein solution of concentration of 7 mg/mL was diluted to a total volume of 4.0 mL with water (i.e. 0.1 mL of the solution was added to 3.9 mL of water). 3 mL of this solution was then mixed with 27 mL of water. What is the concentration of the diluted protein solution? Space to show your workings:arrow_forwardSDS-PAGE gels separate proteins by charge.

- Chemistry You have constructed a standard curve from BSA protein for a Bradford Assay. The curve has 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 ug protein in 50 µl water. You have an unknown protein with concentration somewhere between 1-5 mg/mL. What serial dilution series should you use to guarantee at least two dilutions of your unknown fall below 3 ug (linear portion) on the standard curve? For example, would 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 (3 2-fold dilutions) be sufficiently dilute that two of the dilutions would give values within the linear portion of the standard curve?arrow_forwardTarget structure, just 2 from the questions please.
