A saturated solution is made by dissolving 0.327 g of a polypeptide (a substance formed by joining together in a chainlike fashi

on some number of amino acids) in water to give 1.70 L of solution. The solution has an osmotic pressure of 4.19 torr at 26 °C. What is the approximate molecular mass of the polypeptide?

Answer: The approximate molecular mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=iMRT

Or,

\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution in L)}}\times RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure of the solution = 4.19 torr

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (polypeptide) = 0.327 g

Volume of solution = 1.70 L

R = Gas constant = 62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 26^oC=[273+26]K=299K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

4.19torr=1\times \frac{0.327}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times 1.70}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 299K\\\\\text{molar mass of solute}=856g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol

When the volume of a gas is
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE GAS IS 406 mL WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES FROM 765 K TO 315 K.

Explanation:

When the temperature changes from  765 K to 315K, the volume has changed from 986 mL to?

V1 = 986 mL = 0.986 L

T1 = 765 K

T2 = 315 K

V2 = unknown

Using Charles' equation of gas laws;

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Making V2 the subject of the formula:

V2 = V1 T2 / T1

V2 = 0.986 * 315 / 765

V2 = 0.406 L

V2 = 406 mL

So therefore, the volume of a gas changes from 986 mL to 406 mL as a result of a change in temperature from 765 K to 315 K.

If temperature is increased , the number of collisions per second
AfilCa [17]

Answer: when the temperature is increased, the number of collisions per second increases.

Explanation:

the rate of collisions and the temperature is directly proportional. If the  energy of the gas particles is boosted by using the temperature, the chances of the particles bumping into each other due to the high energy increases, thus increasing the number of collisions. This also increases the rate of reaction. Thus when temperature is increased the number of collisions also increases.
