A biochemist carefully measures the molarity of salt in 23.5mL of photobacterium cell growth medium to be 7.73 mM. Unfortunately, a careless graduate student forgets to cover the container of growth medium and a substantial amount of the solvent evaporates. The volume of the cell growth medium falls to 4.78mL. Calculate the new molarity of salt in the photobacterium cell growth medium.

Answer: The new molarity of salt  in the photobacterium cell growth medium is 38.0 mM

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

where,  

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of concentrated solution = 7.73 mM

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of concentrated solution = 23.5 ml  

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of diluted solution = ?

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of diluted solution = 4.78 ml

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]7.73\times 23.5=M_2\times 4.78[/tex]

[tex]M_2=38.0mM[/tex]

Therefore, new molarity of salt  in the photobacterium cell growth medium is 38.0 mM
