Question

insulin is a protein that is used by the body to regulate both carbohydrate and fat metabolism. a bottle contains 325 mL of insulin at a concentration of 40.0 mg/mL. what is the total mass of insulin in the bottle?

Answer 1

40mg for every mL so you take 40x325 to wind up with 13,000mg of insulin or 13 grams.

Answer 2

Answer: The bottle has a total mass of 13000 mg of insulin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of insulin = 40 mg/mL

and we need to fins the mass of insulin in 325 mL of bottle.

From above, we know that:

1 mL contains 40 mili-grams of insulin.

So, 325 mL will contain =
`(40)/(1)* 325` = 13000 mili-grams of insulin.

Hence, the bottle has a total mass of 13000 mg of insulin.
