Answer:
(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm
(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm
Explanation:
Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;
s = M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle
s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr
making r sbjct of formula, r = M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs
Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s
r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)
r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm
b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂
s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁
making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁
r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035
r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm
Pure water has a freezing point of 0 degrees centigrade but seawater has a lower freezing point because of the salt (NaCl)
D. precision. At first glance you can mark out A and B because the answers does not relate to the question. If question had said "what do you call it when the measurement is close to the actual answer" then you would have picked C. So that leaves you D. precision.
You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.
The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).
203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4
Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.
After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.
203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6
x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7
Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.
