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

1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,
postnew [5]
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
  • Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>

<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will  <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.

<h3><u> Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
  • <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>

A 50.0 mL solution of 0.129 M KOH is titrated with 0.258 M HCl. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of each of t
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

A- pH = 13.12

B- pH = 12.91

C- pH = 12.71

D- pH = 12.43

E- pH = 11.55

F- pH = 7

G- pH = 2.46

H- pH = 1.88

Explanation:

This is a titration of a strong base with a strong acid. The neutralization reaction is: KOH (aq) + HCl (aq) →  H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)

Our pH at the equivalence point is 7, because we have made a neutral salt.

To determine the volume at that point we state the formula for titration:

mmoles of base = mmoles of acid

Volume of base  . M of base = Volume of acid . M of acid

50mL . 0.129M = 0.258 M . Volume of acid

Volume of acid = (50mL . 0.129M) / 0.258 M →  25 mL (Point <u>F</u>)

When we add 25 mL of HCl, our pH will be 7.

A- At 0 mL of acid, we only have base.

KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻

[OH⁻] = 0.129 M

To make more easy the operations we will use, mmol.

mol . 1000 = mmoles → mmoles / mL = M

- log 0.129 = 0.889

14 - 0.889 = 13.12

B-  In this case we are adding, (7 mL . 0.258M) = 1.81 mmoles of H⁺

Initially we have  0.129 M . 50 mL = 6.45 mmoles of OH⁻

1.81 mmoles of H⁺ will neutralize, the 6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ so:

6.45 mmol - 1.81 = 4.64 mmoles of OH⁻

This mmoles of OH⁻ are not at 50 mL anymore, because our volume has changed. (Now, we have 50 mL of base + 7 mL of acid) = 57 mL of total volume.

[OH⁻] = 4.64 mmoles / 57 mL = 0.0815 M

- log 0.0815 M = 1.09 → pOH

pH = 14 - pOH → 14 - 1.09 = 12.91

C- In this case we add (12.5 mL . 0.258M) = 3.22 mmoles of H⁺

<em>Our initial mmoles of OH⁻ would not change through all the titration. </em>

Then 6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ are neutralized by 3.22 mmoles of H⁺.

6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ - 3.22 mmoles of H⁺ = 3.23 mmoles of OH⁻

Total volume is: 50 mL of base + 12.5 mL = 62.5 mL

[OH⁻] = 3.23 mmol / 62.5 mL = 0.0517 M

- log  0.0517 = 1.29 → pOH

14 - 1.11 = 12.71

D- We add (18 mL . 0.258M) = 4.64 mmoles of H⁺

6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ are neutralized by 4.64 mmoles of H⁺.

6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ - 4.64 mmoles of H⁺ = 1.81 mmoles of OH⁻

Total volume is: 50 mL of base + 18 mL = 68 mL

[OH⁻] = 1.81 mmol / 68 mL = 0.0265 M

- log  0.0265 = 1.57 → pOH

14 - 1.57 = 12.43

E- We add (24 mL . 0.258M) = 6.19 mmoles of H⁺

6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ are neutralized by 6.19 mmoles of H⁺.

6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ - 6.19 mmoles of H⁺ = 0.26 mmoles of OH⁻

Total volume is: 50 mL of base + 24 mL = 74 mL

[OH⁻] = 0.26 mmol / 74 mL = 3.51×10⁻³ M

- log  3.51×10⁻³  = 2.45 → pOH

14 - 2.45 = 11.55

F- This the equivalence point.

mmoles of OH⁻ = mmoles of H⁺

We add (25 mL . 0.258M) = 6.45 mmoles of H⁺

All the OH⁻ are neutralized.

OH⁻  +  H⁺  ⇄   H₂O              Kw

[OH⁻] = √1×10⁻¹⁴   →  1×10⁻⁷  →  pOH = 7

pH → 14 - 7 = 7

G- In this case we have an excess of H⁻

We add (26 mL . 0.258M ) = 6.71 mmoles of H⁺

We neutralized all the OH⁻ but some H⁺ remain after the equilibrium

6.71 mmoles of H⁺ - 6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ = 0.26 mmoles of H⁺

[H⁺] = 0.26 mmol / Total volume

Total volume is: 50 mL + 26 mL → 76 mL

[H⁺] = 0.26 mmol / 76 mL → 3.42×10⁻³ M

- log 3.42×10⁻³ = 2.46 → pH

H- Now we add (29 mL . 0.258M) = 7.48 mmoles of H⁺

We neutralized all the OH⁻ but some H⁺ remain after the equilibrium

7.48 mmoles of H⁺ - 6.45 mmoles of OH⁻ = 1.03 mmoles of protons

Total volume is 50 mL + 29 mL = 79 mL

[H⁺] = 1.03 mmol / 79 mL → 0.0130 M

- log 0.0130 = 1.88 → pH

After equivalence point, pH will be totally acid, because we always have an excess of protons. Before the equivalence point, pH is basic, because we still have OH⁻ and these hydroxides, will be neutralized through the titration, as we add acid.
