Answer:

[Acetic acid] = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.13 M

Explanation:

pH of buffer = 5

pKa of acetic acid = 4.76

pH=p_{Ka} + log\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

5=4.76 + log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]}

log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 0.24

\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 1.74  ....... (1)

It is given that,

[Acetate] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M     ....... (2)

Now solving both the above equations

[Acetate] = 1.74[Acetic acid]

Substitute the concentration of acetate ion in equation (2)

1.74[Acetic acid] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M

[Acetic acid] = 0.2/2.74 = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.2 - 0.07 = 0.13 M

olga_2 [115]

Answer : The molar mass of protein is, 1.38\times 10^4g/mol

Explanation :

Formula used :

\pi =CRT\\\\\pi=\frac{w\times 1000}{M\times V}RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure  = 0.138 atm

C = concentration

R = solution constant  = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature  = 28^oC=273+28=301K

w = mass of protein subunit = 0.155 g

M = molar mass of protein subunit = ?

V = volume of solution  = 2.00 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\pi=\frac{w\times 1000}{M\times V}RT

0.138atm=\frac{0.155g\times 1000}{M\times 2.00ml}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (301K)

M=13878.17g/mol=1.38\times 10^4g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of protein is, 1.38\times 10^4g/mol
