If two tablespoonfuls of a 10% w/v povidone–iodine solution were diluted to 1 quart with purified water,
what would be the ratio strength of the dilution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1 : 315[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that

one quart is equal to [tex]946.3[/tex] mls

one table spoon is equal to [tex]15[/tex] mls

Therefore, two table spoon is equal to

[tex]2 * 15 = 30[/tex] mls

[tex]Q_1 * C_1 = Q_2 * C_2[/tex]

Here,

[tex]Q_1[/tex] & [tex]Q_2[/tex] represents the volume

[tex]C_1[/tex] & [tex]C_2[/tex] represents the concentration

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

[tex]30 * 10[/tex]% [tex]= 946.3 * X[/tex]%

[tex]X[/tex]% [tex]= \frac{30 * 10}{946.3}[/tex]

[tex]X[/tex]% [tex]= 0.317[/tex] %

[tex]0.317[/tex] % [tex]= 100 : 0.317[/tex]

[tex]1 : 315[/tex]

Following are the calculation to the ratio strength of the dilution:

Initial concentration, [tex]C_1 = 30\% = 0.30[/tex]

Initial volume, [tex]V_1 = 2 \times 15 = 30 \ mL \ \text{(2 tablespoonfuls)}[/tex]

Using filtered water, dilute this solution to 1 quart.

Let the diluted solution have a strength of [tex]C_2[/tex]:

[tex]\because 1\ quart = 946.35 \ mL \\\\ \therefore V_2 = 946.35\ mL \\\\[/tex]

Now,  

[tex]\to V_1C_1 = V_2C_2\\\\ \to (30) (0.30) = (946.35)C_2\\\\\to C_2= \frac{(30)(0.30)}{946.35}[/tex]

         [tex]=\frac{9}{ 946.35}\\\\=\frac{1}{105.15}\\\\= 1 : 105.15 \approx 1: 105[/tex]

Therefore, the strength ratio of the diluted solution is "1: 105".
