# Variables
G = 1000.0 ;			# Volume of solution - [L]
S_ad = 1.56 ;			# amount of Steptomycin adsorbed per gram resin-[g strep./g resin]
cn_S = 6. ;			# Concentration of streptomycin solution-[g/L]

# Calculations
# Assume equilibrium occurs so that total(max) amount of streptomycin is adsorbed 
max_S = cn_S*G ;			# Maximum streptomycin adsorbed-[g]
#Use streptomycin balance to get amount of resin required 
R = max_S/S_ad ;			#Amount of resin required to adsorb required amount of streptomycin

# Results
print 'Amount of resin required to adsorb required amount of streptomycin is %.0f g . '%R
Amount of resin required to adsorb required amount of streptomycin is 3846 g .
