Question

1) You need to prepare 30mls of Master Mix Cocktail composed of:

0.15M CAP buffer

6mM NAD

0.15M sodium lactate

In the cabinet, you have the following ingredients: a) a stock solution of 1.5M CAP, (b) sodium lactate (solid; MW = 112 g), and (c) a vial of freshly reconstituted 10 mM NAD.

How much sodium lactate should you add to achieve the desired final concentration in your 30mls Cocktail? Round to two decimal places and include proper units.

2)

You need to prepare 30mls of Master Mix Cocktail composed of:

0.25M CAP buffer

10mM NAD

0.25M lactate

In the cabinet, you have the following ingredients: a) a stock solution of 1.5M CAP, (b) sodium lactate (solid; MW = 112 g), and (c) a vial of freshly reconstituted 50mM NAD.

How much sodium lactate should you use to get the desired final concentration in your 30mls Cocktail? Round to one decimal place and include proper units.

Explanation / Answer

1. Molecular weight of sodium lactate is 112 g.

Molarity = weight/ molecular weight * 1000/volume in mL

0.15 = weight/112 * 1000/30

weight = 0.504

weight of Soium lactate that should be added is approximately 0.5 grams.

2.

Molecular weight of sodium lactate is 112 g.

Molarity = weight/ molecular weight * 1000/volume in mL

0.25 = weight/112 * 1000/30

weight = 0.84 grams.

weight of Soium lactate that should be added is approximately 0.84 grams.
