T. Svedberg measured the molecular weight of carbonyl hemoglobin by velocity centrifugation. In this experiment, 0.96 g of prote

in were dissolved in 100. mL of water at 303 K , and the solution was spun at 39,300 rpm. After 30.0 min, the concentration boundary advanced by 0.074 cm from an initial position of 4.525 cm. Calculate the molecular weight of carbonyl hemoglobin.

Answer:

The molecular weight is 77.7 kg/mol

Explanation:

The molecular mass of hemoglobin is equal to:

M=\frac{RTs}{D(1-Vp)}

Where

R = molar gas constant = 8.315 J/K mol

p = density = 0.998 g/mL

V = specific volume = 0.755 mL/g

s = sedimentation rate = ?

D = diffusion rate = 7x10⁻¹¹m²/s

T = temperature = 303 K

The sedimentation rate is equal to:

s=\frac{1}{w^{2}t } ln(\frac{x_{b,t} }{x_{b,0} } )

Where

w = angular velocity = 39300 rpm = 246929.18 rad/min

xb,30 = boundary midpoint distance at 30 min = 4.525 + 0.074 cm

t = time = 30 min

xb,0 = boundary midpoint distante at 0 min = 4.525 cm

s=\frac{1}{246929.18^{2}*30 } ln(\frac{4.525+0.074}{4.525} )=8.87x10^{-13} min=5.32x10^{-13} s

The molecular weight is:

M=\frac{8.315*303*5.32x10^{-13} }{7x10^{-11}*(1-(0.755*0.998)) } =77.7kg/mol

Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit: (a) 95°F, the temperature on a hot summer day; (b) 12°F,
Elis [28]

Answer:

a) 35°C, the temperature on a hot summer day

b) -11.11°C, the temperature on a cold winter day

c)  a 38.88°C fever

d) a furnace operating at 1011.11°C

e) 523.67°F ( theoretically the lowest attainable temperature )

Explanation:

  • °C = ( °F - 32 ) / 1.8
  • °F = ( 1.8 * °C ) +32

a) 95°F ⇒ °C = ( 95 - 32 ) / 1.8 = 35°C

b) 12°F ⇒ °C = ( 12 - 32 ) / 1.8 = -11.11°C

c) 102°F ⇒ °C = ( 102 -32 ) / 1.8 = 38.88°C

d) 1852°F ⇒ °C = ( 1852 -32 ) / 1.8 = 1011.11°C

e) 273.15°C ⇒ °F = ( 1.8 * 273.15 ) + 32 = 523.67°F

Which substance can be decomposed by a chemical change?<br> (1) Co (3) Cr(2) CO (4) Cu
kotykmax [81]
Answer: (2) CO

Co, Cr, and Cu are elements. Elements cannot be broken down by a chemical change, but compounds can. Since CO is a compound, it can be decomposed by a chemical change.
