One milligram of streptomycin sulfate contains the antibiotic activity of 650 μg of streptomycin base. How many grams streptomycin sulfate would be the equivalent of 1 g of streptomycin base?

1.538 g of streptomycin sulfate

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, we have 650 μg of streptomycin base in 1 milligram of streptomycin sulfate.

If we convert everithing to grams:

650 μg = 0.00065 g of Streptomycin base for every 0.001 grams of Streptomycin Sulfate so we have : 0.001 grs Streptomycin Sulfate/0.00065 gr Streptomycin base=1.538 gr Streptomycin Sulfate/Streptomycin base

Now if we want 1 gram of Streptomycin base we will need:

1 g of Streptomycin base*1.538 gr Streptomycin Sulfate/Streptomycin base = 1.538 gr Streptomycin Sulfate
