You are given pure serine in powder form, and you are asked to make exactly 20 mL of a 20 μM solution. How much serine powder (in μg) would you need to make such a solution? For this problem, assume that carbon has molar mass of 12 amu, hydrogen 1 amu, nitrogen 14 amu, oxygen 16 amu, and sulfur 32 amu. You must compute the molecular weight of serine after drawing it; do not look up the molecular weight on google. Show your unit conversion fully step by step
