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

Do you think that participation in a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) prepares a student for a career in the AFN industry
irinina [24]

Answer:

The SAE curriculum includes practical farming tasks conducted outside the scheduled classroom and laboratory period by students. SAEs offer a method for students in agricultural education to gain real-world work opportunities that they are most interested in in the field of agriculture. Supervised agricultural experience is an essential component of agricultural education, and all Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) courses are a necessary component.

Which statements indicate what the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth? Check all that apply.
Gennadij [26K]

The following are the statements, which indicates that the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth:  

1. Humans have only recently existed on Earth.  

2. The organisms originally lived only in Earth's water.  

3. The plants did not have flowers when dinosaurs existed.  

The fossil remains have been discovered in the rocks of all the ages. The simplest organisms fossils are witnessed in the oldest rocks, and the fossils of more composite species are found in the newest rocks. This supports the theory of evolution suggested by Darwin, according to which the simple life forms slowly gets evolved into more composite ones.

2-butanone is converted into 3-methyl-3-hexanol using a grignard reagent prepared from 1-bromopropane and magnesium metal in thf
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.

The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.

  • Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
  • Add a boiling stone.
  • Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
  • Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
  • Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
  • Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
  • When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).
