You want to determine the protein content in milk with the Kjeldahl method. You take 100 g whole milk and use 100 mL of 0.5 M hy

drochloric acid to collect ammonia. You needed 34.50 mL of 0.3512 M NaOH for the back-titration. Calculate the percentage of protein in the sample where CP = 6.38 (that is % protein = CP x %N).

Answer:

3.38%

Explanation:

Given that;

the mass of the whole milk sample = 100 g

volume of HCl = 100 mL = 0.1 L

molarity of HCl = 0.5 M

volume of NaOH = 34.50 mL = 0.0345 L

molarity of NaOH = 0.3512 M

Since we knew the molarity and volume of both HCl and NaOH; we can calculate their corresponding number of moles present.

So, number of moles of HCl = molarity of HCl × volume of HCl

number of moles of HCl = 0.5 M ×  0.100 mL

                                        = 0.05 mole

number of moles of NaOH = Molarity of NaOH ×  Volume of NaOH

number of moles of NaOH = 0.3512 M ×  0.0345 L

                                            = 0.012 mole

From the question, we can deduce that the number of HCl that is consumed by NH₃ is equal to the number of moles of HCl that is consumed by NaOH.

SO, number of moles of HCl consumed by NH₃ = Total moles of HCl - moles of HCl consumed by NaOH

= 0.05 mole - 0.012 mole

= 0.038 mole

However, to determine the mole of NH₃ present , we have:

number of moles of NH₃ present = number of moles of HCl consumed by NH₃  = 0.038

∴ the mass of Nitrogen with the molecular weight (14.0 g/mol) = 0.038 moles × 14.0 g/mol

= 0.530 g

Now, the percentage of Nitrogen can be calculated as;

percentage of nitrogen =\frac{mass of nitrogen}{mass of the whole milk sample} *100

percentage of nitrogen =\frac{0.530g}{100g} *100

percentage of nitrogen =0.530%%

the percentage of protein in the sample = CP × %age of N

where CP is given as 6.38

∴ the percentage of protein in the sample = 6.38 ×  0.530%

the percentage of protein in the sample = 3.3814%

the percentage of protein in the sample = 3.38%

The following reaction has an equilibrium constant (Keq) of 1 under standard conditions and can be catalysed by the enzyme aspar
Trava [24]

Answer:

  1. What is the AGⓇ of this reaction? 0.
  2. Which will be favoured - the forward reaction, the reverse reaction, or neither? Neither.
  3. What effect does the presence of the enzyme aspartate transaminase have on the Key value when compared with its value in the absence of enzyme? It does not affect the value of Keq.
  4. If one of the products of reaction 1, oxaloacetate, is removed by converting it to citrate as follows: Reaction 2: oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA citrate + COASH will the key for Reaction l be changed? No, the Keq does not change.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the delta G of a reaction given the K, we use the following equation:

ΔG°= -RT ln K.

Which gives us 0 when K is 1.

2.None of the reactions is favoured. Given that the K equals 1, the system will try to keep the concentration of both products and reagents the same.

3. A catalyst is a substance that, when added, provides a different and faster mechanism through which a reaction takes place. This only means that the speed at which the equilibrium is attained is reduced, but the enzyme does nothing to alter the difference in energy (ΔG°) of the start and end points of the reaction, which ultimately gives us the value of Keq.

4. The addition of a side reaction does not change the value of Keq for the main reaction. They are both separate ways of making oxaloacetate disappear. While the Keq does not change, keep in mind that the end concentrations will not be the same, for any set of starting concentrations of your substances.

What type of bond is formed between different molecules of water
boyakko [2]
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen splits its time between the incomplete outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom.
