A portein has been isolated as sodium salt with their molecular formula `Na_(x)P` (this notation means that `xNa^(+)` ions are associated with a negatively charged protein `P^(-x))`. A solution of this salt was prepared by dissolving `0.25g` of this sodium slat of protein in `10g` of water adn ebulliscopic analysis revealed that soluion boils at temperature `5.93 xx 10^(-3).^(@)C` higher than the normal boiling point of pure water. `K_(b)` of water 0`.52 kg mol^(-1)`. Also elemental analysis revealed that the salt contain `1%` sodium metal by weight. Deduce molecular formula and determine molecular weight of acidic form of protein `H_(X)P`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a sodium salt of a protein with the formula `Na_xP`. The solution of this salt shows a boiling point elevation, which we can use to find the molality and ultimately the molecular weight of the acidic form of the protein `H_XP`. ### Step 2: Use the Boiling Point Elevation Formula The boiling point elevation can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta T_b = i \cdot K_b \cdot m \] where: - \(\Delta T_b\) = boiling point elevation - \(i\) = van 't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute breaks into) - \(K_b\) = ebullioscopic constant of the solvent (water in this case) - \(m\) = molality of the solution ### Step 3: Calculate the Van 't Hoff Factor \(i\) Since the sodium salt dissociates into \(x\) sodium ions and one negatively charged protein ion, the total number of particles is: \[ i = x + 1 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Molality \(m\) The molality \(m\) is defined as: \[ m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent (kg)}} \] Given that we have 0.25 g of the sodium salt and 10 g of water, we convert the mass of water to kg: \[ \text{mass of solvent} = 10 \text{ g} = 0.01 \text{ kg} \] Now, let \(M\) be the molar mass of the sodium salt. The number of moles of solute is: \[ \text{moles of solute} = \frac{0.25 \text{ g}}{M} \] Thus, the molality \(m\) becomes: \[ m = \frac{0.25/M}{0.01} = \frac{25}{M} \] ### Step 5: Substitute Values into the Boiling Point Elevation Equation From the problem, we have: \[ \Delta T_b = 5.93 \times 10^{-3} \, ^\circ C \] And \(K_b\) for water is given as \(0.52 \, \text{kg mol}^{-1}\). Substituting these values into the boiling point elevation formula: \[ 5.93 \times 10^{-3} = (x + 1)(0.52) \left(\frac{25}{M}\right) \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ M = (x + 1)(0.52)(25) / (5.93 \times 10^{-3}) \] ### Step 7: Analyze Sodium Content The problem states that the sodium salt contains 1% sodium by weight. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{x \cdot 23}{0.25} = 0.01 \implies x \cdot 23 = 0.0025 \implies x = \frac{0.0025}{23} \approx 0.0001087 \] This means: \[ x = 20 \] ### Step 8: Substitute \(x\) Back to Find \(M\) Now substituting \(x = 20\) back into the equation for \(M\): \[ M = (20 + 1)(0.52)(25) / (5.93 \times 10^{-3}) = 21 \cdot 0.52 \cdot 25 / (5.93 \times 10^{-3}) \] Calculating this gives: \[ M \approx 4556 \, \text{g/mol} \] ### Step 9: Determine the Molecular Formula The molecular formula of the acidic form of the protein is: \[ H_{20}P \] ### Final Answer The molecular weight of the acidic form of the protein \(H_XP\) is approximately **4556 g/mol**. ---
