Chapter 26: Q20P (page 748)

Ferritin (molecular mass 450 000), transferrin (molecular mass 80 000), and ferric citrate were separated by molecular exclusion chromatography on Bio-Gel P-300. The column had a length of 37 cm and a 1.5-cm diameter. Eluate fractions of 0.65 mL were collected. The maximum of each peak came at the following fractions: ferritin, 22; transferrin, 32; and ferric citrate, 84. (That is, the ferritin peak came at an elution volume of 22 3 0.65 5 14.3 mL)Assuming that ferritin is eluted at the interstitial volume and that ferric citrate is eluted at Vm, findKavfor transferrin.

Short Answer

Expert verified

TheKav for transferrin isKav=0.16

Step by step solution

01

Define ferric citrate:

Ferric citrate or iron (III) citrate describes any complex compounds formed by binding to any few conjugate bases derived from citric acid and ferric ions.

02

Calculate the maximum values for ferritin, ferric citrate, and transferrin:

Consider the following:

Ferritin maximum:

Vo=22×0.65mL=14.3mL

Ferric citrate maximum:

Vm=84×0.65mL=54.6mL

Transferrin maximum:

Vt=32×0.65mL=20.8mL

03

Calculate Kv for transferrin:

Next calculate the Kavfor transferrin by the following equation

Kav=Vt-VoVm-VoKav=20.8-14.354.6-14.3Kav=0.16

The solution toKav for transferrin isKav=0.16

When the following three compounds are separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography at, three peaks are observed. When 10mMvα-cyclodextrinis added to the run buffer, two of the three peaks split into two peaks, giving a total of five peaks. Explain this observation and predict which compound does not split.

Low iron concentration (as low as 0.02nM) in the open ocean limits phytoplankton growth. Preconcentration is required to determine such low concentrations. Tracefrom a large volume of seawater is concentrated onto achelating resin column. The column is then rinsed with 10mLof 1.5M high-purity water and eluted withofhigh-purityHNO3.

(a) For each sample, seawater is passed through the column for 17hours at 10mL/min. How much is the concentration of Fe3+in the 10mLof NHO3eluate increased by this preconcentration procedure?

(b) What is the concentration of Fe3+in the seawater when 57 nm Fe3+is found in the nitric acid eluate?

(c) Reagent-grade concentrated nitric acid is 15.7 M and contains ≤0.2ppm iron. What would be the apparent concentration of Fe (nM) in a seawater blank if reagent-grade acid were used to prepare the 1.5M HNO3eluent?

Totarlsulfexperimevt: Inorganic cations can be quantified by passing a salt solution throagh a cation-exchange columan in the OH-form and titruting the relcasod H+with strong base. The moles of OH-titrant equal the equivalenss of catioa charge in solution.

(a) What volume of 0.0231 M NaOH is needed to titrate the eluate when 10.00ml of 0.0458MKNO3,have been loaded on a cation exchange columan in the H+foem?

(b) A 0.2692g sample of unknown salt is dissolved in demonized waler and loasedoato a cation exchange column in the H+form. The columin is rinsed with deionined water and the combincd loading and rinse solutions are titrated with 0.1396M KOH. A volume of 30.64mL is required to reach the endpoint. How many equivalents of cation are in the sample? Find the millieguivalents of cation per gram of sample (meq/g).

(c) The mass of substance containing one cquivalent is called the equivalent mas. If the cation has a +1 charge, the equivalent mass equals the molar mass. If the cation has a +2 charge, the equivalent mass is half the molar mass. What is the equivalent mass of the sample in (b)?

Fluorescent derivatives of amino acids separated by capillary zone electrophoresis had migration times with the following order: arginine (fastest) , phenylalanine , asparagine , serine , glycine(slowest). Explain why arginine has the shortest migration time.
