BIOLOGY 126 – PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF LIFE LAB 1 – STANDARD CURVE Mark: ______ /32 Section: BIOL-126-001A Due Date: NOTES: 1. Wherever you have a number, you must have a unit associated with that number (an exception is absorbance values, which reflect unit-less ratios). In a table, there is normally a separate heading for each column that includes the units, so the units don’t have to be repeated with each individual value. 2. Absorbance must always be associated with a wavelength (e.g., A 660 ). PART 1 – DILUTION SERIES FOR A COLOURED SOLUTION 1. Fill in the following table. Make sure to add appropriate units to the column headings. (4 marks) Table 1. Absorbance of green coloured solutions at different concentrations. Cuvette Number Volume of green coloured solution Volume of water Green coloured solution concentration in cuvette A 628 ( mL ) ( mL ) ( M ) 1 0 7 0 0 2 0.5 6.5 0.25 0.200 3 1.0 6.0 0.5 0.396 4 1.5 5.5 0.75 0.568 5 2.0 5.0 1.0 0.752 6 2.5 4.5 1.25 0.958 7 3.0 4.0 1.5 1.05 8 3.5 3.5 1.75 1.21 9 4.0 3.0 2 1.58 2. In the space below, show a sample calculation for the concentration of the green coloured solution in Cuvette #4. (2 marks) C 1 V 1 = C 2 V 2 C 2 = 5.25M 7 C 2 = (3.5M)(1.5 mL ) 7mL C 2 = 0.75M C 2 = (3.5M)(1.5) /2 3. Using the green coloured solution concentration and absorbance data from Table 1 above, create a properly formatted standard curve and paste into the space below.
