- In a 0.1000 M acetic acid solution at 25 degrees celsius , the acid ionizes to the extent of about 1.34 %. Since each molecule of acetic acid which ionizes produces 1 H+ ion and 1 C2H3O2- ion, the concentration in the solution are: HC2H3O2 < -----------> H+ + C2H3O2-arrow_forwardConsider a negatively charged protein adsorbed on anion-exchange gel at pH 8.

Rice can vary from “waxy” types with virtually no amylose in the starch to “normal” types with perhaps 20% amylose. Desserts made from different types of rice flour have very different properties, especially texture. Materials: Two types of rice flour (soaked in 64 ml of water) • Glutinous (waxy, 1% amylose) • Non-glutinous Sugar (finely granulated) Baking powder Salt Procedure: 64 g each 25 g 1 g 0.5 g Laboratory 1 Properties of Starch Starch is made up of amylose and amylopectin in various proportions. Because amylose and amylopectin have very different physicochemical properties, the types of starch and thus the amylose to amylopectin ratio significantly affects the sensory characteristics, especially the texture of food products. Objective: To compare the texture of steamed dessert made from glutinous and non- glutinous rice flour Procedures: 1.…arrow_forward
- The activity of a pore-forming membrane protein, PorinA1, was tested in different lipid bilayers at 60 °C. Each bilayer is composed of a single type of phosphoglyceride. The four different phosphoglycerides used are shown in the table below together with the corresponding average hydrophobic thickness of the bilayer formed: Phosphoglyceride Bilayer hydrophobic thickness ( A) Dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) 30.7 Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) 34.2 Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) 38.1 Distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) 42.2 PorinA1 is found to have the greatest activity when embedded in DPPC lipid bilayers.

- In an experiment, a 0.001 (mole fraction) solution of polysaccharide in water is made and is placed in the compartment A (see Figure below). Compartment B is filled with pure water. The two compartments are separated by a porous semi-permeable membrane that allows the exchange of water molecules between the two compartments, but not that of the larger polysaccharide molecules a) Show that the chemical potential of water in compartment A is lower than that in compartment B by 2.48 J/mol. b) As a result of this chemical potential difference, water molecules will move from compartment B to compartment A. This causes the pressure in compartment A, relative to that in B, to increase. How would this affect the chemical potential of water in compartment B? When would the diffusion of water from B to A cease (i.e. equilibrium is achieved)? c) Using your answer to part (b), work out the difference between the pressure in compartment A and B when…arrow_forwarddraw pleasearrow_forward15arrow_forward
