Answer:
The molar mass of the protein is 12982.8 g/mol.
Explanation:
The osmptic pressure is given by:
π=MRT
Where,
M: is molarity of the solution
R: the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
T: the temperature in kelvins
Hence, we look for molarity:
= =5.584×10⁻³mol/l
As we have 2 ml of solution, we can get the moles quantity:
Moles of protein: 5.584×10⁻³×2ml=1.117×10⁻⁵mol
Finally, the moles quantity is the division between the mass of the protein and the molar mass of the protein, so:
Moles=Mass/Molar mass
Molar mass= Mass/Moles==12982.8 g/mol

Answer:
The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached
The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while
the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
