composition
The composition is as follows:
substance | Concentration (g / L) | Molar concentration (mM) |
---|---|---|
Sodium chloride (NaCl, table salt) | 8.00 | 134 |
Potassium chloride (KCl) | 0.20 | 2.68 |
Calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) | 0.20 | 1.8 |
Magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) | 0.10 | 1.05 |
Sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH 2 PO 4 ) | 0.05 | 0.417 |
Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO 3 ) | 1.00 | 11.9 |
glucose | 1.00 | 5.56 |
The pH of the solution is 6.6.
use
