Chapter 2.5, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : Ranking of protons in the increasing order of pKa needs to be given.

Concept Introduction : Ka is the dissociation constant of the acid. A stronger acid has higher Ka value. Its relationship with the pKais as follows:

  pKa=logKa ,

Lower the Ka value, higher is the pKa .

An orange laser has a wavelength of 610 nm. What is the energy of this light?
The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues:   Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S   where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550.   Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin. Predict the absorbance of a solution that’s 1.000 g/L transferrin in a 1.000-cm-pathlength cuvet. Estimate the g/L of a transferrin solution with an absorbance of 1.50 at 280 nm.
In GC, what order will the following molecules elute from the column? CH3OCH3, CH3CH2OH, C3H8, C4H10
