When performing a gram stain, it is necessary to remove crystal violet stain from any gram negative bacteria on the slide. Microbiologists use a decolorizing solution to accomplish this. A common recipe is equal parts 95% ethanol and acetone. How many mL of water would you need to add if you have 99% ethanol and want to end up with 500 mL of decolorizer

10.11 mL

Explanation:

Given that :

Total volume of decolorizer = 500 mL

A common recipe is equal parts 95% ethanol and acetone.

So;

The volume of 95% ethanol in the decolorizer = 500mL/2 = 250 mL

Let represent V(ml) for the 99% of ethanol needed to make 95% of the 250 mL of ethanol;

Therefore:

V(ml) × 0.99 = 250 × 0.95

V(ml) × 0.99 = 237.5

V(ml)  = 237.5/0.99

V(ml) = 239.89 mL

Hence; the amount of water to be added to 95% of ethanol = ( 250 -  239.89 )mL = 10.11 mL

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
