3 0

He used the bacterium Streptomyces lividans in order to discover potassium ion channels
These are gram-positive that live in soil. They are non-pathogenic so they do not cause disease. They find application in biotechnology because of their ability to produce antibiotics and also produce proteins which are very industrially applicable.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 38.6 g sucrose (C12H22O11) in 495 g of water. Determine the mole fraction of sucrose if the

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$x_{suc}=0.00406$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the mole fraction relates the moles of solute and the moles of solution, and for sucrose it is:

$x_{suc}=\frac{n_{suc}}{n_{suc}+n_{water}}$

Whereas we need to compute the moles of both sucrose and water based on their molar masses (342.3 and 18.02 respectively) as shown below:

$n_{suc}}=\frac{38.6g}{342.3g/mol}=0.113mol\\\\ n_{water}}=\frac{495g}{18.02g/mol}=27.5mol\\$

Thus, the mole fraction sucrose turns out:

$x_{suc}=\frac{0.112}{0.112+27.5}\\\\x_{suc}=0.00406$

Best regards!
