You are given stocks of 4 m nacl, 40% glucose, and 1m tris-hcl (ph 8.5). you need to make 400 ml of a buffer containing 0.5 m nacl, 8% glucose and 50 mm tris-hcl (ph 8.5). how would you make the buffer?

50mL of 4M NaCl, 80mL of 40% glucose, 20mL of 1M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5) and 250mL of water.

Explanation:

To make 400mL containing 0.5M NaCl you need to add:

4M / 0.5M = 8 (dilution 1/8). 400mL / 8 = 50 mL of 4M NaCl.

Glucose 8% you need to add:

40% / 8% = 5 (dilution 1/5). 400mL / 5 = 80 mL of 40% glucose

Buffer 50mM you need to add:

1000mM / 50mM = 20 (dilution 1/20). 400mL / 20 = 20mL of 1M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5)

The resting volume: 400mL - 50mL of 4M NaCl - 80mL of 40% glucose - 20mL of 1M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5) = 250 mL must be completed with water.

Thus, to make the solution you need: 50mL of 4M NaCl, 80mL of 40% glucose, 20mL of 1M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5) and 250mL of water.

I hope it helps!

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
