In this episode of Bench Boost, Mike, Ashley, Autumn, and Liv discuss fundamental laboratory math. They cover essential formulas used in elemental analysis, including the C1V1=C2V2 formula for preparing solution standards, calculating dilution factors, and performing serial dilutions. They also explain percent recovery as a method accuracy check and contrast the units of PPM and PPB. The discussion includes molarity, its importance in chemistry experiments, and how to convert concentration units for accurate solution preparation. The episode aims to clarify common mathematical concepts used in lab settings and provide guidance on these calculations.
