Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{109.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Data:

50/50 ethylene glycol (EG):water

V = 4.70 gal

ρ(EG) = 1.11 g/mL

ρ(water) = 0.988 g/mL

Calculations:

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b$

i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from 1 mol of solute. For EG, i = 1.

1. Moles of EG

$\rm n = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 mL}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1.11 g}}{\text{1 mL}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{62.07 g}} = \text{159 mol}$

2. Kilograms of water

$m = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{998 g}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{8.88 kg}$

3. Molal concentration of EG

$b = \dfrac{\text{159 mol}}{\text{8.88 kg}} = \text{17.9 mol/kg}$

4. Increase in boiling point

$\rm \Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b = 1 \times 0.512 \, \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1} \, \times 17.9 \cdot mol \cdot kg^{-1} = 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}$

5. Boiling point

$\rm T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100.00 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} = \mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}\\\rm \text{The boiling point of the solution is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}}$}$
