A saturated solution is made by dissolving 0.327 g of a polypeptide (a substance formed by joining together in a chainlike fashion some number of amino acids) in water to give 1.70 L of solution. The solution has an osmotic pressure of 4.19 torr at 26 °C. What is the approximate molecular mass of the polypeptide?

Answer from: notcollin2416

The approximate molecular mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol

Explanation:

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

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution in L)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 4.19 torr

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

Mass of solute (polypeptide) = 0.327 g

Volume of solution = 1.70 L

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = 26^oC=[273+26]K=299K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.19torr=1\times \frac{0.327}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times 1.70}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 299K\\\\\text{molar mass of solute}=856g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.

The ozone molecule o3 has a permanent dipole moment of 1.8×10−30 cm. although the molecule is very slightly bent-which is why it has a dipole moment-it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10−10 m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. suppose an ozone molecule is in a 8000 n/c uniform electric field. in equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. but if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion.what is the frequency f of oscillation?
