Answer:

O: 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 7.7 × 10² g

Explanation:

Natural abundances of elements in the human body (in percent by mass)

  • oxygen (O), 65%
  • carbon (C), 18%
  • hydrogen (H), 10%
  • nitrogen (N), 3.0%
  • calcium (Ca), 1.6%
  • phosphorus (P), 1.2%
  • all other elements, 1.2%

The mass of a body is 64 kg = 64 × 10³ g = 6.4 × 10⁴ g. We can calculate the mass of each element by <em>multiplying the body weight by the mass percent of each element</em>.

O: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 65% = 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 18% = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 10% = 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 3.0% = 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.6% = 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g

Natural abundances in mass percent are:

O = 65%

C = 18%

H = 10%

N = 3.0%

Ca = 1.6%

P = 1.2%

Corresponding weights of the elements are:

O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g

C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g

H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g

N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g

Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g

P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g

which of the following amino acids are used to measure the protein concentration by UV? A. His B. Pro C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr
Goryan [66]

Answer:

C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr

Explanation:

The concentration of a protein has a direct relation with absorbance of the protein in a UV spectrophotometer. The formula which relates concentration with absorbance is described as under:

                A = ∈ x c x l

where, A = Absorbance

            ∈ = Molar extinction co-efficient

            c  = Concentration of absorbing species i.e. protein

             l  = Path length of light

       

Tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe ) and tyrosine (Tyr) are three aromatic amino acids which are used to measure protein concentration by UV. It is mainly because of tryptophan (Trp), protein absorbs at 280 nm which gives us an idea of protein concentration during UV spectroscopy.

The table depicting the wavelength at which these amino acids absorb and their respective molar extinction coefficient is as under:

Amino acid                Wavelength            Molar extinction co-efficient (∈)

Tryptophan                     282 nm                        5690

Tyrosine                          274 nm                        1280

Phenylalanine                 257 nm                        570

In view of table above, we can easily see that Molar extinction co-efficient (∈) of Tryptophan is highest amongst all these 3 amino acids that is why it dominates while measuring concentration.

The vapor pressure of substance X is 100. mm Hg at 1080.°C. The vapor pressure of substance X increases to 600. mm Hg at 1220.°C
artcher [175]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         P_{1} = 100 mm Hg or \frac{100}{760}atm = 0.13157 atm

         T_{1} = 1080 ^{o}C = (1080 + 273) K = 1357 K

         T_{2} = 1220 ^{o}C = (1220 + 273) K = 1493 K

         P_{2} = 600 mm Hg or \frac{600}{760}atm = 0.7895 atm

          R = 8.314 J/K mol

According to Clasius-Clapeyron equation,

                   log(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303R}[\frac{1}{T_{1}} - \frac{1}{T_{2}}

            log(\frac{0.7895}{0.13157}) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303 \times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{1357 K} - \frac{1}{1493 K}]

          log (6) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{19.147}[\frac{(1493 - 1357) K}{1493 K \times 1357 K}]

                0.77815 = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{19.147J/K mol} \times 6.713 \times 10^{-5} K

              \Delta H_{vap} = 2.219 \times 10^{5} J/mol

                                   = 2.219 \times 10^{5}J/mol \times 10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{1 J}

                                    = 221.9 kJ/mol

Thus, we can conclude that molar heat of vaporization of substance X is 221.9 kJ/mol.
