- Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution.
