Answer:3.5 ml of water will be required to sterile the 700 mg of Kanamycin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of te Kamamycin = 700 mg = 0.7 g

1000 mg = 1 g

1 grams of Kanamycin is sterile by 5 mL of water as stated in label

Then ,0.7 g of water will be sterile by =
0.7 g* 5ml=3.5 mL

3.5 ml of water will be required to sterile the 700 mg of Kanamycin.

As, 5 mL water is required for 1 g kanamycin and thus for 700 mg capsule or 0.7 g capsule, the amount of solvent required is:

for 700 mg capsule = 5 * 0.7 mL = 3.5 mL

hence, 3.5 mL solvent is required.
