Question

Insulin is a protein that is used by the body to regulate both carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A bottle contains 225 mL of insulin at a concentration of 20.0 mg/mL . What is the total mass of insulin in the bottle?

Answer 1

The total mass of insulin in the bottle : m = 4500 mg

Further explanation

Given

225 ml of insulin

The concentration 20 mg/ml

Required

The total mass of insulin

Solution

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

Can be formulated

ρ = m / V

m = ρ x V

Input the value :

m = 20 mg/ml x 225 ml

m = 4500 mg
