a. Cranium
b. Face
c. Pelvis
d. Spine
e. Thorax

Answer: a. Cranium
Explanation: These bones form the cranium (skull), which encloses and protects the brain.

4) LABORATORY MATHEMATICS AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT
How would you prepare a 50 mL 1/10 dilution of bleach?
a. 3 mL of bleach to 47 mL of water
b. 4 mL of bleach to 46 mL of water
c. 5 mL of bleach to 45 mL of water
d. 6 mL of bleach to 44 mL of water
e. 7 mL of bleach to 43 mL of water

Answer: c. 5 mL of bleach to 45 mL of water
Explanation: 1/10 is a dilution factor of 10. It means the volume of the solution is 10 times higher than the volume of the solute.

The formula for the dilution factor is:
dilution factor = final volume/solute volume

This formula can be rearranged as:
solute volume = final volume/dilution factor

Inserting the values from the question into the formula:
solute volume = 50 mL/10 = 5 mL

We calculate the amount of water needed by subtracting the amount of bleach from the total volume:
50 mL – 5 mL = 45 mL
