β‑Galactosidase (β‑gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β‑galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.387 g sa

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=icRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.602 mbar = 0.000602 bar

0.000602 bar = 0.000594 atm

(1 atm = 1.01325 bar)

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273.15 +25]=298.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.000594 atm=1\times c\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298.15 K\\\\c=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

The concentration of solute is $2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

Volume of the solution = V =0.137 L

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = n

$C=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L\times 0.137 L$

$n=3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = $3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

Given mass of β‑Galactosidase= 0.387 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol =\frac{0.387 g}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of solute}=116,352.97 g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a piston. The volume of the gas is 2.00 L at 0.524 atm. The piston is moved to incre

MAXImum [283]

Answer:0.20L

Explanation:

Data

P1 =0.524atm

V1=2L

P2=5.15atm

V2=?

Apply Boyle' law

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 =P1V1/P2

= 0.524x 2 /5.15

= 0.20 L

A solution of ph 5 has _____ times more hydrogen ions than that of pure water.

Alik [6]

PH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions on the log 10 scale. Thus, a pH 5 solution has 2 order of magnitude difference from that of pure water, which has a pH of 7.

Therefore, $10^{2} = 100$ . A solution of pH 5 has 100 times more hydrogen ions that that of pure water.
