How would you prepare 500 ml of a 0.2% solution of the detergent tween-20? this reagent is a liquid in its pure state.

At a 500 mL volumetric ballon, it will be added a little of distilled water, then 1 mL of the pure detergent, and then it will be added water until the meniscus. The solution will be agitated by inverting the flask until it's homogeneous.

Explanation:

In its pure state, the detergent has a 100% concentration. Thus, knowing that the product of the concentration by volume must be constant, we can do:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where C is the concentration, V is the volume, 1 is the pure detergent, and 2 the solution. So, let's find the volume of pure detergent needed to prepare 500 mL of the solution:

100*V1 = 0.2*500

100V1 = 100

V1 = 1 mL

Thus, at a 500 mL volumetric ballon, it will be added a little of distilled water, then 1 mL of the pure detergent, and then it will be added water until the meniscus. The solution will be agitated by inverting the flask until it's homogeneous.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
