Question

TTC is a chemical indicator in a culture media used for differentiating bacteria. Suppose you need to create a 500 mL solution of a 1% TTC solution (the other 99% is water). All you have to measure this volume with is a microliter pipette. How many microliters of TTC solution should you measure?

Answer 1

Big shoes we fit em hahaha

Answer 2

5000 microliters of TTC solution

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 500 ml solution consists of 1% TTC

So the amount of TTC (in ml) in the solution is 1 % of 500 ml

`(1)/(100) * 500\\=5` ml

As we know

`1` ml
`= 1000` micro liter

So amount of TTC in micro liter present in 5 ml of TTC

`= 5 ml * (1000 microliter)/( 1 ml) \\= 5000\\` micro liter

Thus there are 5000 microliters of TTC solution
