A suspension of protein molecules in water (molar mass of 1.05x10° g/mol and radius 3.40x10 m) is placed in a test tube. The test tube is placed in a centrifuge which operates at 4200 Hz. a) If the distance from the axis of rotation to the sample is 4.0 cm. what is the terminal velocity assuming the protein reaches it instantaneously? b) How many hours will it take the protein molecules to travel a distance of 6.0 cm to reach the bottom of the test tube?

1.Calculate the mass of the liquids collected in surface tension determination. 2. Calculate the average drop mass by dividing the mass of liquid collected with the number of drops. 3. Calculate the drop volume using Eqn 3b-4.The literature values of the density of water and ethanol can be seen in Table 3b-5. Assume that the temperature is 30°C. 4. Before computing for the surface tension, determine the correction factor (f) at r/v1/3 , where r is the outer radius of the burette tip, using Table 3b-4. To locate f in the table, use the following example as guide: If r/v1/3 = 0.32, then find what values in the row and column headings will make a sum of 0.32. In this case, 0.3 (row) plus 0.02 (column) equals 0.32. Thus, f = 0.72313. 5. Finally, calculate the surface tension using Eqn 3b-3:

A Poiseuille flow experiment was carried out to measure the viscosity of air at 298 k. The sample was allowed to flow through a 100 cm tube of an internal diameter 1mm. The high-pressure end was at 865 Torr and the low-pressure end was at 760 Torr. The volume was measured at the latter pressure. In 59 seconds a volume of 90.2 cm3 passed through the tube. What is the viscosity (unit in cp) of air at this temperature?
