Answer:

The correct answer is 180,424 g/mol

Explanation:

The expression for osmotic pressure (π) is the following:

π= i x M x R x T

Where M is the molarity of the solution, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

i= 1 because the catalase is a nonelectrolyte.

M= m/(VxMW) because the molarity is in mol/L and mol is obtained by the mass (m) divided into the molecular weight (MW)

We introduce this expression in the expression for osmotic pressure and we obtain:

π= \frac{m  R  T }{V  MW}

T= 20ºc= 293 K

V= 14 mL= 0.014 L

So, we directly calculate the molecular weight as follows:

MW= \frac{m  R T}{V   \pi }

MW= (0.166 g)(0.082 LatmK⁻¹mol)(293 K) (760Torr atm⁻¹)/(0.014 L)(1.2 Torr)

MW= 180,424 g/mol

For an enzyme: 180,424 g/mol= 180.4 kDa (because 1 g/mol= 1 Da)

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

An antacid tablet contains 640.0 mg of magnesium oxide per tablet.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

317.6 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization equation

MgO + 2 HCl ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 640.0 mg of MgO

The molar mass of MgO is 40.30 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 640.0 mg (0.6400 g) of MgO are:

0.6400 g × (1 mol/40.30 g) = 0.01588 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of HCl that react with 0.01588 moles of MgO

The molar ratio of MgO to HCl is 1:2. The moles of HCl are 2/1 × 0.01588 mol = 0.03176 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume of 0.1000 M HCl that contains 0.03176 moles

0.03176 mol × (1 L/0.1000 mol) = 0.3176 L = 317.6 mL
