A student creates a sports drink by dissolving 5.0 g of powder in 250 mL of water. The green colour of the drink is due to the presence Green Dye X, which has a lambdamax of 630 nm. A calibration curve (absorbance versus concentration) at lambdamax is created for varying concentrations (mM) of Green Dye X which has the equation y = 26.8x.

A student weighed out 0.150 g of protein powder and dissolved it in 100 mL of water (Solution 1). The student then diluted this solution by transferring 1 mL into a 25 mL flask and diluting with water (Solution 2). Finally, 1 mL of that solution was transferred to a test tube and combined with 4 mL Bradford reagent. The absorbance of the solution in the test tube was 0.11. Assuming that the best fit linear line of the standard curve was y = 0.04144 x + 0.01521 (μ g mL), calculate the percent protein by mass in the original protein powder.

Prepare a 1:200 dilution of the 20 mM Coomassie solution to measure the max wavelength—you need 2 ml for the absorbance measurement but the dilution does not matter as long as the absorbance is in the range of 0.2 to 0.6. Set the initial wavelength at 450 nm. Blank the spec with a tube containing 2 ml water. Use the 1000 ul pipette for water because you need to deliver the same amount of water in each tube for the next exercise. Why is it when the calculations are done for the given values above, the value for ml is 0.01 for coomassie blue?
