Answer to Problem 5P
At the end of dialysis, the concentration is 0.001 M
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Precipitation of a protein with 1 M
1 ml of the sample is dialyzing in 1000 ml of buffer.
To find the concentration or volume of the concentrated or dilute solution the following equation is used:
The concentration of
Put the above values in equation:
Therefore, at the end of dialysis the concentration is 0.001 M
The process for further lowering the concentration of
The concentration could be further dropped by dialyzing the sample again. It can be done by placing the dialysis tube into a fresh 1000 mL solution (a buffer having no
So, it could be done by dialyzing the sample to 1mM, in a buffer-free solution of (NH4)2SO4.
At the end of dialysis, the concentration is 0.001 M

- Help please. MD ordered morphine SO4 gr 2/5 and the pharmacist has a stock solution of gr 1/8 per milliliter of morphine SO4. How many milliliters of the stock solution is required to fill the Rx?arrow_forwardCongratulation. You just graduated and obtained a job as an RN at NYU Medical Center. A patient comes in complaining of nausea, vomiting and weakness. You obtain the vital signs: T 90, P 90,R 20 and BP 100/70.His weight is 130lb and BSA is 2.60 m2. After history and physical examination, the physician ordered an infusion. The order reads: a drug 100mg/m2 IVPB IN 250mL of Normal Saline infuse over 3hours.The drug is available in a vial labeled 60mg/ml. At what rate in mL/h should the pump be set?

First, you need to prepare a small piece of potato (cut into a 2-inch long stick or wedge), two identical drinking glasses with equal amounts of tap water (enough to submerge the piece of potato) in them and a teaspoonful of table salt. Mark one glass as A, and the other one as B. Dissolve the salt in the water in glass A. Take note of the initial characteristics of the piece of potato, particularly its consistency (degree of firmness or hardness). Record this observation on the first column of table 22.

An effort is usually made to fragment the polypeptide backbone first, before determining the characteristics of a protein. b. Protein solubility in aqueous solutions is independent of ionic strength of the solution. c. Using a semi-permeable membrane, dialysis allows the removal of salt ions prior to chromatography.arrow_forward
- I hope you can help me with this. When developing the zymogram using a destaining solution, a researcher observed wedge shaped bands with protein. What could be the possible reasons for such an observation?arrow_forwardMore ratios. Through the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, it is possible to determine the ratio between the protonated and deprotonated forms of buffers. (a) Suppose the ratio of [ A- ]A I to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 for a buffer with pKar6.0.pKa = 6.0. What is the pH? (b) For a different buffer, 91974 suppose the ratio of [ A- ]lA J to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 and the pHpH is 7.0. In this case, what is the pKapKa of the buffer?
