Answer:

The standard moisture content specification for hard gelatin capsules is between 13 % w/w and 16 % w/w.  This value can vary depending upon the conditions to which they are exposed: at low humidity's they will lose moisture and become brittle, and at high humidity's they will gain moisture and soften.

A new grill has a mass of 30.0 kg. you put 1.5 kg of charcoal in the grill. you burn all the charcoal and the grill has a mass o

atroni [7]

The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:

$C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g)$

From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of $CO_{2}$ gas.

Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,

$n=\frac{1.5\times 10^{3} g}{12 g/mol}=125mol$

The same moles of $CO_{2}$ is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ is 44 g/mol thus,

$m=125mol\times 44 g/mol=5.5\times 10^{3}g$

Converting mass into kg,

$1g=10^{-3}kg$

Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.

The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid lysine are 2.2, 9.1, and 10.5, respectively. The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid arg

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) =$ 9,8

For arginine:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) =$ 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

I hope it helps!
