The protein lysozyme unfolds at a transition temperature of 75.5°C, and the standard enthalpy of transition is 509 kJ mol-1. Cal

culate the entropy of unfolding of lysozyme at 25.0°C, given that the difference in the constant-pressure heat capacities upon unfolding is 6.28 kJ K-1 mol-1 and can be assumed to be independent of temperature. Hint: Imagine that the transition at 25.0°C occurs in three steps: (i) heating of the folded protein from 25.0°C to the transition temperature, (ii) unfolding at the transition temperature, and (iii) cooling of the unfolded protein to 25.0°C. Because the entropy is a state function, the entropy change at 25.0°C is equal to the sum of the entropy changes of the steps.

Answer:

0.4774 KJ/K.mol

Explanation:

We are told that the transition at 25.0°C occurs in three steps. Steps i, ii and iii.

Thus;

the entropy of unfolding of lysozyme = ΔS_i + ΔS_ii + ΔS_iii

Now,

C_p,m(unfolded protein) = C_p,m(folded protein) + 6.28 kJ/K.mol

Now, for the first process, ΔS_i is given as;

ΔS_i = C_p,m × In(T2/T1)

We are given;

T1 = 25°C = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15 K

T2 = 75.5°C = 75.5 + 273.15 K=348.65 K

Thus;

ΔS_i = C_p,m × In(348.65/298.15)

Now, for the third process, ΔS_iii is given as;

ΔS_iii = (C_p,m + 6.28 kJ/K.mol) × In(T1/T2)

Thus;

ΔS_iii = (C_p,m + 6.28 kJ/K.mol) × In(298.15/348.65)

Now, we don't know C_pm. So, we have to find a way to eliminate it. We will do it by rewriting In(298.15/348.65) in such a way that when ΔS_iii is added to ΔS_i, C_p,m will cancel out. Thus;

In(298.15/348.65) can also be written as;

In(348.65/298.15)^(-1) or

- In(348.65/298.15)

Thus;

ΔS_iii = - [(C_p,m + 6.28 kJ/K.mol) × In(298.15/348.65)]

Now, let's add ΔS_iii to ΔS_i to get;

ΔS_i + ΔS_iii = [C_p,m × In(348.65/298.15)] + [(-C_p,m - 6.28 kJ/K.mol) × In(348.65/298.15)]

ΔS_i + ΔS_iii = [C_p,m × In(348.65/298.15)] - [C_p,m × In(348.65/298.15)] - [6.28In(348.65/298.15)]

First 2 terms will cancel out to give;

ΔS_i + ΔS_iii = -6.28In(348.65/298.15)

ΔS_i + ΔS_iii = -0.9826 KJ/K.mol

Now,for process ii;

ΔS_ii = standard enthalpy of transition/Transition Temperature

Thus;

ΔS_ii = (509 KJ/K.mol)/348.65

ΔS_ii = 1.46 KJ/K.mol

Thus;

the entropy of unfolding of lysozyme = ΔS_i + ΔS_ii + ΔS_iii = -0.9826 + 1.46 = 0.4774 KJ/K.mol

Which of the following is ranked from smallest to largest?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The order is: electron, carbon, water,  glucose, glycogen.    

Explanation:

The electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and is therefore the smallest.

Carbon is a chemical element, which belongs to the group-14 of periodic table and has atomic number 6.

Water is a odorless, almost colorless and tasteless chemical compound which is necessary for all the known living form. The chemical formula is H2O and it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar and a type of simple carbohydrate. The chemical formula is C6H12O6 and is composed of 6 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms.

Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide molecule, which is composed of multiple monomeric glucose units. Therefore, it is the largest.

<u>Therefore, the increasing order is: electron, carbon, water,  glucose, glycogen.</u>

velikii [3]
To solve this question you need to calculate the number of the gas molecule. The calculation would be:
PV=nRT
n=PV/RT
n= 1 atm * 40 L/ (0.082 L atm mol-1K-<span>1 * 298.15K)
</span>n= 1.636 moles

The volume at bottom of the lake would be:
PV=nRT
V= nRT/P
V= (1.636 mol * 277.15K* 0.082 L atm mol-1K-1 )/ 11 atm= <span>3.38 L</span>
