Here are four problems (5 pts each) involving the calculation of DG°' for metabolic reactions we have discussed, based on experimentally determined redox potentials. Calculate the DG°' for each reaction using the equation DG°' = -nFDE0' and the values for E0' given in Table 1. Show your work and circle your answer.

A compound with molecular mass = 292.16 g/mol was dissolved in a 5.000 mL volumetric flask. A 1.000 mL aliquot was withdrawn, placed in a 10.000 mL flask and diluted to volume. The apparent absorbance of the diluted solution at 340 nm was 0.827 in a 1.000 cm cuvette. To check for a possible stray light effect, this sample was diluted by exactly a factor of 2; the apparent absorbance was now 0.421. A reagent blank showed negligible absorbance. The (true) molar absorptivity at 340 nm = 2.130 x 104 M-1 cm-1.

a) Estimate the stray light in the spectrophotometer.

b) Calculate the concentration of the compound in the cuvette.

c) What mass of the compound was used to make the solution in the 5.000 mL flask?

  1. Design your own environmental laboratory experiment based on ANY of the labs we completed during CE 4371. You will be graded based on:
    1. Developing your overarching experimental question/goal,
    2. How you appropriately select your experiments to answer your question, and
    3. Your thought process of what your outcome will likely be and why.

Please be sure to detail your sampling procedures, where your samples will be collected from, how you will analyze your data, and what data will be collected in your theoretical data sheet. You can expand upon our experiments in lab. For example, if you want to measure more than just Fe on the AA machine, you can select copper, arsenic, etc., as long as it is measurable on an AA machine.

is just theoretical. You do not actually have to perform the experiment. Therefor, it phosphorus is very interesting to you, and hypothetically you are interested in how much phosphorus run off the farm produces, you would write down the sample collection procedure and the phosphorus testing procedure
