(a) The absorbance of mixture at 400 nm was 0.40. Using the standard curve, calculate the
concentration of haemoglobin in g/dl for this female
patient.

0.1 g/dl

Explanation:

The standard curve is a graph that relates the absorbance at 400 nm with the concentration of haemoglobin in mg/dl. To obtain the concentration from the absorbance value, we enter in the x-axis (absorbance at 400 nm) with the value 0.40 (the line between 0.2 and 0.6), we extrapolate the line to the curve and read the correspondent value on y-axis (concentration in mg/dl): 100 mg/dl.

So, we convert the concentration from mg/dl to g/dl by dividing into 1000:

100 mg/dl x 1 g/1000 mg = 0.1 g/dl

Therefore, the concentration of haemoglobin of the patient is 0.1 g/dl.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
