Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 36

####35. Percentage of Se in peroxidase anhydrase enzyme is 0.5 by weight (at. wt. =78.4 ) then minimum molecular weight of peroxidase anhydrase enzyme is

(a) 1.568×103

(b) 15.68

(c) 2.136×104

(d) 1.568×104

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) Suppose the mol. wt. of enzyme =x

Given 100g of enzyme wt of Se=0.5g

In x g of enzyme wt. of Se=0.5100×x

Hence 78.4=0.5×x100

x=15680=1.568×104 (c) Table for empirical formula :

Unknown environment 'tabular' & Unknown environment 'tabular' & Ratio \ \hline C & 40 & 12 & 4012=3.33 & 3.333.33=1 \ \hline H & 6.66 & 1 & 6.661=6.66 & 6.663.33=2 \ \hline O & 53.34 & 16 & 53.3416=3.33 & 3.333.33=1 \ \hline \end{tabular}

(% of O in organic compound

=100(40+6.66)=53.34

Empirical formula of organic compound =CH2O.
