Answer:
Dimer of two peptide chains with 1 mole of molybdenum metal each.
Explanation:
Percentage of molybdenum in protein = 0.08%
Molecular mass of nitrate reductase = 240,000 g
Mass of molybdenum = x
Moles of molybdenum =
Each peptide chain of nitrate reductase contain 1 mole of molybdenum.
This means that nitrate reductase is composed of to two peptide chains. And in each peptide there is a single mole of molybdenum metal.
Answer: 530 hours
Explanation:
The reduction of Nickel ions to nickel is shown as:
of electricity deposits 1 mole of Nickel
1 mole of Nickel weighs = 58.7 g
Given quantity = 18.0 kg = 18000 g (1kg=1000g)
58.7 g of Nickel is deposited by 193000 C of electricity
18000 g of Nickel is deposited by = of electricity
where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs = 59182282.8C
I = current in amperes = 31.0 A
t= time in seconds = ?
(1h=3600 sec)
Thus 530 hours are required to plate 18.0 kg of nickel onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 31.0 A
