Th e molar absorption coeffi cients of tryptophan and tyrosine at 240 nm are 2.00 × 103 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 1.12 × 104 dm3 mol−1

cm−1 , respectively, and at 280 nm they are 5.40 × 103 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 1.50 × 103 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 . Th e absorbance of a sample obtained by hydrolysis of a protein was measured in a cell of thickness 1.00 cm and was found to be 0.660 at 240 nm and 0.221 at 280 nm. What are the concentrations of the two amino acids?

Answer:

5.43x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Concentration of tyrosine

2.58x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Concentration of tryptophan

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law is:

A = E×C×l

Where A is measured absorbance, E is absorption coefficient, C is concentration of solution and l is optical path length.

For the result at 240nm, it is possible to write:

0.660 = 2.00x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctry × 1cm + 1.12x10⁴ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctyr × 1cm <em>(1)</em>

At 280 nm:

0.221 = 5.40x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctry × 1cm + 1.50x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctyr × 1cm <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

Thus:

-2.7× (0.660 = 2.00x10³ × Ctry  + 1.12x10⁴ × Ctyr) =

-1.782 = -5.40x10³Ctry - 3.024x10⁴Ctyr

0.221 = 5.40x10³ × Ctry + 1.50x10³  × Ctyr

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-1.561 = -28740×Ctyr

<em>5.43x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Ctyr</em>

Replacing this value in (1) or (2) it is possible to find Ctry, that is:

<em>2.58x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Ctry</em>

Archy [21]
The concept used here is the Le Chatelier's principle. When a disturbance is introduced to the system, it favors the direction of reaction that minimizes the disturbance to regain equilibrium.

In endothermic reactions, the forward reaction is favored when the temperature is low. Otherwise, the reverse reaction is favored. When you add the amounts of substances on the reactant side, more products would formed favoring the forward reaction. If you increase concentration on the product side, you form more reactants so it would favor the reverse reaction. Lastly, since 10 moles of gases are needed in the reactant side, it would be favored during high pressure reaction.

What is 2.75 mol of O2
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

2,75 mol of O2 it's 88 g of O2.

Explanation:

The weight of the diatomic molecule O2 is 32 g/mol. So considering that, you should multiply 2,75 mol · 32 = 88g :)

Part a the sun produces energy via fusion. one of the fusion reactions that occurs in the sun is 411h→42he+201e how much energy
Orlov [11]
The equation for the nuclear fusion reaction is,
4 ¹₁H → ₂⁴He + 2 ₁⁰e
Calculation of mass defect,
Δm = [mass of products - mass of reactants]
      = 4(1.00782) - [4.00260 + 2(0.00054858)]
      = 0.0275828 g/mole
Given that,
Mass of Hydrogen-1 = 2.58 g
The no. of moles of ₁¹H = 2.58 g / 1.00782 = 2.56 moles
Therefore, the mass defect for 2.58 g of ₁¹H is, 
= 2.56 moles * (0.0275828 g / 4) = 0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg
Energy for (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) is, 
= (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) (3.0 x 10⁸)² = 1.59 x 10¹² J

1 mole of Nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of Hydrogen to produce 2 mole of Ammonia.
It is known that i mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 L of Volume. So, we can also say,

22.4 L (1 × 22.4) of Nitrogen gas (in question it is taken in excess) reacts with 67.2 L (22.4 × 3) of Hydrogen gas to produce 44.8 L (22.4 × 2) of Ammonia.

Result:
          44.8 L is the correct answer.
