Making solutions?

Ok. I had a question regarding making solutions in lab.

Lets say I need to make 50mL of a buffer. And this buffer requires 20 mM of A, 10 mM of B, and 0.5 mM of C.

I have stock solutions of 20 mM of A, 1 M of B, and 2 M of C.


I understand how much of 1 M B that I should add, and how much of 2 M of C.

However, how much of the 20 mM do I add?


Thanks!

Thanks for the answer but how did you calculate that?

Stoichiometry and HH.

I meant show me your work.

So you're asking how you can dilute a 20 mM soln to make a 20 mM soln...

Make up a more concentrated stock of A. Problem Solved

No, I'm asking how much of the 20 mM stock I should put in the 50 mL buffer soln. I realized that you're not diluting the 20 mM to 20 mM...

Also, thanks Marshm68 for actually trying to help unlike others

Add 11mL bro

Eh, I'd probably just use the stock solution of A and dissolve B and C into it as solids if possible. Either way.

That'd be off by like a thousandth of a percent though! Completely unacceptable!

Gotta follow instructions. No shortcuts in lab.

Lol, bringing back gen chem gunner memories! 🙂
