Answer:

Glycogen is a polymer of glucose and it has branched structure.

Explanation:

Glycogen is made up of repetitive units of glucose. IT is a polysaccharide.

The glucose molecules are bonded by glycosidic bonds.

There is a linear chain of Glucose molecules residues are linked linearly by α-1,4 glycosidic linkages. the branching starts after 10-12 glucose units by α-1,6 glycosidic linkages.

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

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

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

Answer:

* $W=1142.86Joule$

* $Q=997.7J$

* $H=2140.5J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature $T=337K$

Pressure $P=(60-55)Pa*10^5$

Volume $V=(1.6-1.4)m^3*10^{-3}$

Generally the equation for gas Constant is mathematically given by

$\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}^n$

$\frac{55*10^5}{60*10^5}=\frac{1.4*10^{-3}}{1.6*10^{-3}}^n$

$n=0.65$

Therefore

Work-done

$W=\int{pdv}$

$W=\frac{55*10^5*1.6*10^{-3}*60*10^5*1.4*10^{-3}}{1-0.65}$

$W=1142.86Joule$

Generally the equation for internal energy is mathematically given by

$Q=mC_vdT\\\\Q=\frac{3*1*3.314*16}{1.4-1}$

$Q=997.7J$

Therefore

$H=Q+W$

$H=997.7J-11.42.9$

$H=2140.5J$

My answer was 10 and it’s telling me it’s wrong..what did i do wrong?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1.586x10^-9

Explanation:

To make a multiplication in scientific notation we need to multiply the coefficients and sum the exponents:

Coefficients: 2.600 * 6.1000 = 15.86

Exponents: -5 + (-5) = -10

The result is:

15.86x10^-10

As the scientific notation must be given with only 1 number in the left of the point:
