5. The difference between mass and weight it that mass is the volume inside a object.
The number of grams of agarose that you need to make 200 ml of 2% agarose gel is 4 grams
calculation
number of grams is calculated using M/v x100 =% m/v formula
M (mass) =?
V(volume) = 200 ml
%(M/V) = 2%
convert the 2 % M/V into fraction = 2/100
then substitute the values into the equation
= M/200 ml = 2/100
multiply both side by 200
M is therefore = 2/100 x200
M=4 grams
Elements in the same column of the periodic table exhibit similar properties (periodicity). Carbon, in Group XIV (14), and elements below it in the same column react in similar fashion. The most similar element to carbon is silicon (Si).
