Calculating the Molecular Weight and Subunit Organization of a Protein From Its Metal Content The element molybdenum (atomic wei

ght 95.95) constitutes 0.08% of the weight of nitrate reductase. If the molecular weight of nitrate reductase is 240,000, what is its likely quaternary structure?

Answer:

Dimer of two peptide chains with 1 mole of molybdenum metal each.

Explanation:

Percentage of molybdenum in protein = 0.08%

Molecular mass of nitrate reductase = 240,000 g

Mass of molybdenum = x

0.08\%=\frac{x}{240,000 g}\times 100=192 g

Moles of molybdenum =\frac{192 g}{95.95 g/mol}=2.00 mol

Each peptide chain of nitrate reductase contain 1 mole of molybdenum.

This means that nitrate reductase is composed of to two peptide chains. And in each peptide there is a single mole of molybdenum metal.

Which has a greater volume, 10 grams of water or 10 grams of acetone?
WINSTONCH [101]

Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}          (1)

Mass of water = 10 grams

Mass of acetone  = 10 grams

Density of water  = 1 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Density of acetone  = 0.7857 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Put the value of density of water and its mass in equation (1)

1 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} =  \frac{10 g}{volume}

Volume of water =  10 cm^{3}

Put the value of density of acetone and its mass in equation (1)

0.7857 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} =  \frac{10 g}{volume}

Volume of acetone = 12.72 cm^{3}

Thus, volume of acetone is more than volume of water because the density of acetone is lower.

Which best describes a stock solution that is used in a dilution?
RSB [31]
A stock solution is a solution of a known concentration. Stock solution has a high concentration and therefore, the known amount of stock solution is used for preparing different concentrations, by diluting the same with the known amount of the solvent being used, such as water.
