To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula, you need to find a multiple (x) that will give you the molar mass of the compound which in the question is 54 g/mol.

If C₂H₃ is the empirical formula
 molar mass of empirical formula = (12 × 2) + (1 × 3) g/mol
                                                     =  27 g/mol
let x = multiple
let molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

            multiple = molecular mass ÷ empirical mass
                         =  54 g/mol ÷  27 g/mol
                         =  2


If molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

then molecular formula = C₂₍₂₎H₃₍₂₎

                                      = <span>C₄H</span>₆

A binding protein binds to a ligand L with a Kd of 400 nM. What is the concentration of ligand when Y is (a) 0.25, (b) 0.6, (c)
Mrac [35]

Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

(c) 7,600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm
