Question

Lysine has a formula: 2,6-Diammoniohexanoic acid. It is an amino acid that is an essential part of nutrition but which is not synthesized by the human body. Calculate the molar mass of lysine. In order to determine the molar mass of lysine, you prepared a solution of 125.00ml, containing 1.668 g of lysine. The osmotic pressure of this solution, is 0.368 atm. The temperature was controlled is 5.0 celcius.

Find/Explain:

A) What is the osmotic pressure developed?

B) What are the ideal gas constant and its unit?

C) Temperature in Kelvin?

D) Molar Constration (M) (=MRT)

E) Moles of amino acid

F) Molar mass of amino acid

Explanation / Answer

Lysine has a formula: 2,6-Diammoniohexanoic acid. It is an amino acid that is an
