Question

Lysozyme is an enzyme that cleaves bacterial cell walls. Asample of lysozyme extracted from egg white has a molar mass of 13.930 g. A quantity of 0.100 g of this enzyme is dissolved in 150 g of water at 25°C. Calculate the vapor-pressure lowering, the depression in freezing point, the elevation in boiling point, and the osmotic pressure of this solution. (The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.76 mmHg.)

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 13 problem number 94 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Lysozyme is an enzyme that cleaves bacterial cell walls. Asample of lysozyme extracted from egg white has a molar mass of 13.930 g. A quantity of 0.100 g of this enzyme is dissolved in 150 g of water at 25°C. Calculate the vapor-pressure lowering, the depression in freezing point, the elevation in boiling point, and the osmotic pressure of this solution. (The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.76 mmHg.)
From the textbook chapter Physical Properties of Solution you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
