Chapter 32, Problem 32.18QAP
The streptomycin in 500 g of a broth was determined by addition of 1.25 mg of the pure antibiotic containing 14C. The specific activity of this preparation was found to be 240 cpm/mg for a 30-min count. From the mixture, 0.112 mg of purified streptomycin was isolated which produced 675 counts in 60.0 min. Calculate the concentration in parts per million streptomycin in the sample.
