Assuming ideal behavior, what is the freezing point of a 0.030 m solution of Al2(SO4)3 ?

1 answer:

3 0

The freezing point of ideal solutions lower respect the freezing point of the pure solvent following the freezing depression formula:

ΔT = i * Kf * m

Where:

- i is the vant'Hoff, which is the number of partilces (ions in this case) that are the solute forms when dissociate.

- kf is cryoscopic constant of the pure solvent (water because we assume it is an aqueous solution).

Then kf = - 1.86 °C / mol

- and m is the molality, m = 0.030 m

i = 2 + 3 = 5, given the one molecule of Al2 (SO4)3 produces 2 ions of Al(+) and 3 ions of SO4 (2-).

Then, ΔT = 5 * 1.86°C/m * 0.030 m = 0.279 °C.

That is the depression of the freezing point which you have to subtract from the freezing point of the pure water => 0°C - 0.279°C = - 0.279 °C.

Answer: - 0.279°C

Indicate the peptides that would result from cleavage by the indicated reagent: a. Gly-Lys-Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg-Ala-Phe by trypsin b.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a. Gly-Lys + Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg + Ala-Phe

b. Glu-Ala-Phe + Gly-Ala-Tyr

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember which peptidic bonds can break each protease:

-) Trypsin

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of lysine or arginine.

-) Chymotrypsin

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine.

With this in mind in "peptide a", the peptidic bonds that would be broken are the ones in the "Lis" and "Arg" (See figure 1).

In "peptide b", the peptidic bond that would be broken is the one in the "Phe" (See figure 2). The second amino acid that can be broken is tyrosine, but this amino acid is placed in the C terminal spot, therefore will not be involved in the hydrolysis.
