A student wants to prepare a standard solution of BSA. They create a stock solution of BSA by add O.174 g of solid BSA powder into a 10 ml volumetric flask, then fills the flask to the line with 0.1M PBS buffer. The student uses a volumetric pipet to transfer 4 ml of stock solution into a new 10 ml volumetric flask, then fills the flask to the calibration line with 0.1M PBS buffer, and calls this Dilution 1. The student uses a micropipette to transfer 23 ul of Dilution 1 and 55 ul of 0.1M PBS butfer into a cuvette. Assuming the volumes are additive, what is the concentration of BSA in the cuvette in mg/mL? Report your answer with two places after the decimal.

A student wants to prepare a standard solution of BSA. They create a stock solution of BSA by add 0.174 g of solid BSA powder into a 10 ml volumetric flask, then
fills the flask to the line with 0.1M PBS buffer. The student uses a volumetric pipet to transfer 4 ml of stock solution into a new 10 ml volumetric flask, then fills the
flask to the calibration line with 0.1 M PBS buffer, and calls this Dilution 1. The student uses a micropipette to transfer 23 ul of Dilution 1 and 55 ul of Q.1M PBS
buffer into a cuvette. Assuming the volumes are additive, what is the concentration of BSA in the cuvette in mg/mL? Report your answer with two places after the
