Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

(c) 7,600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm

What is a polyprotic buffer?
coldgirl [10]
Buffers - mixtures of conjugate acid and conjugate base at ±1 pH unit from pH = pKa. Resistant to changes in pH in response to small additions of H+ or OH-. ... Polyprotic acids - dissociation of each H+ can be treated separately if the pKa values are different

Why does earth have uranium
Rainbow [258]
The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.
