Insulin is a protein that is used by the body to regulate both carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A bottle contains 525 mL of insulin at a concentration of 30.0 mg/mL . What is the total mass of insulin in the bottle?

Respuesta :

A bottle contains 525 mL of insulin at a concentration of 30.0 mg/mL. From the given data, we can multiply the concentration by the total volume given to obtain mg. We do as follows:

Mass = 525 mL ( 30.0 mg/mL) = 15750 mg insulin

Answer:

The total mass of insulin is 15,750mg.

Explanation:

The total mass of insulin can be calculated by the following formulae:

[tex]concentration=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Here, concentration=30.0mg/ ml and volume is 525ml.

[tex]30=\frac{mass}{525}[/tex]

[tex]mass= 525\times 30[/tex]

=15,750 mg

Thus, the mass of insulin in the bottle is 15,750mg.
