<u>Answer:</u> The molecular weight of protein is 1.14\times 10^2g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=iMRT

or,

\pi=i\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times V_{solution}\text{ (in mL)}}}\times RT

where,

\pi = Osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.0861 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

m_{solute} = mass of protein = 400 mg = 0.4 g   (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

M_{solute} = molar mass of protein = ?

V_{solution} = Volume of solution = 5.00 mL

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0861atm=1\times \frac{0.4g\times 1000}{M\times 100}\times 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\M=1136.62g/mol=1.14\times 10^2g/mol

Hence, the molecular weight of protein is 1.14\times 10^2g/mol

5. How can you tell the difference between CuS and Cu2S
puteri [66]

Answer:

Density, melting point. and magnetic properties  

Explanation:

I can think of three ways.

1. Density

The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.

It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.

2. Melting point

Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).

A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.

3. Magnetic properties

You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.

In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.

In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.

A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.

A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.

In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

A & E

Explanation:

Salt water is a hypertonic solution, meaning it extracts water from whatever is placed in it. When a carrot loses water, it will most likely shrivel up and become limp.
