Growth rate calculations and their conclusions can be used in biomedical contexts when organisms are being grown for the synthesis of compounds or other purposes.
% mass Na = (g Na / g H2O) x 100
<span>g Na = (% mass Na)(g H2O) / 100 = (5.2 x 10^-4 g Na / g H2O) </span>
<span>2.4 g Na x (1 g H2O / 5.2 x 10^-4 g Na) = 4600 g Na </span>
<span>4600 g Na x (1 mL H2O / 1 g H2O) = 4600 mL H2O = 4.6 L H2O which is a little more than a gallon</span>
You would die. Nothing would work. Every single cell in your entire body would fail, and you would cease living in an instant.
