Pepsin is an enzyme involved in the process of digestion. Its molar mass is about 3.50 × 104 g/mol. What is the osmotic pressure

in mm Hg at 30°C of a 0.500-g sample of pepsin in 60.0 mL of an aqueous solution?

Answer:

4.49 mmHg

Explanation:

Formula for osmotic pressure → π = M . R . T

M → molarity

Let's determine the moles of pepsin (mass / molar mass)

0.5 g / 35000 g/mol = 1.43 mol ×10⁻⁵ moles

These moles are in 60 mL of an aqueous solution. Let's determine M (mo/L)

1.43 mol ×10⁻⁵ mol / 0.060 L = 2.38×10⁻⁴ M

Noticed we changed the volume from mL to L → 60 mL . 1L/1000mL

T → T°K = T°C + 273 → 30°C +273 = 303K

Now we can put data on the formula:

π = 2.38×10⁻⁴ mol/L . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 303K

π = 5.91×10⁻³ atm

Let's convert the atm to mmHg

5.91×10⁻³ atm . 760mmHg / 1atm = 4.49 mmHg

What is the octet rule?
PolarNik [594]

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T
SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only \frac{1}{10}^{th} part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
