Question

2.Your culture media recipe says you need to add 2.625g of Sodium Bicarbonate per liter of media. You realize you only have a 7.5% solution of Sodium Bicarbonate you can use. What volume of that solution can you add, while making your media, to have the necessary mass of NaHCO3

Answer 1

35mL of the 7.5% solution are required to meake the media

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare the culture media there are required 2.625g of sodium bicarbonate. We have a 7.5% solution of sodium bicarbonate (That is, 7.5g of sodium bicarbonate in 100mL of solution). Thus, to obtain 2.625g we need:

2.625g Sodium bicarbonate * (100mL / 7.5g) =

35mL of the 7.5% solution are required to meake the media
