Calculate the amount (grams) stock tris base powder (MW = 121.4 g/mol) required to make 500 mL of 265 mM solution
Given, MW = 121.4 g/mol
volume of solution to be prepared = 500 mL = 0.5 L
concentration of solution to be prepared = 265 mM = 0.265 M (0.265 mol/L)
Number of moles of tris base = molarity * volume
= 0.265 mol/L * 0.5 L
= 0.1325 moles
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
mass = number of moles * molar mass
= 0.1325 moles * 121.4 g/mol
mass = 16.1 gm
