Lysozyme is an enzyme that cleaves bacterial cell walls. A sample 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 die osmotic pressure of this solution. (The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.76 mmHg.)
Interpretation:
For given solution vapor pressure lowering, freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressures to be calculated.
Concept introduction
Boiling point elevation
Where,
Freezing point depression
Where,
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution. We can calculate osmotic pressure by using this formula is given by,
Where,
Vapor pressure lowering: Vapor pressure lowering is one of the colligative properties. Pure solvent has higher vapour pressure than its solution have non-volatile liquid. Thus vapour pressure lowering guide boiling point elevation.
Where,
