In all ligand titrations, the concentration of ligand is varied around the KD of the complex. In a stoichiometric titration, what is the concentration of receptor in relationship to KD? How does this differ from a binding titration experiment? Can you get a KD from a stoichiometric binding Titration? Why do the stoichiometric titration experiment this way, and what kind of information does it give you?

What is the theoretical (minimum) number of equivalents of methylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI) needed for reaction with benzoin? How many equivalents of CH3MgI did you use relative to benzoin and why is this number of equivalents necessary for the reaction?
In this experiment, we used 0.287g of magnesium turnings with 13mL of a 1.0M solution of methyl iodide (CH3I) in anhydrous diethyl ether to synthesize methylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI)
We then reacted methylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI) with 0.507g of a benzoin solution in 10mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2

3. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons and recent developments in directional drilling and hydraulic stimulation has seen that the majority of natural gas is now produced from shale gases. These gases may contain higher proportions of higher alkanes. In order for these gases to be used via the pipeline, they must meet certain pipeline quality standards. These standards are even stricter when the natural gas is to be used by natural gas vehicles. Suppose natural gas from a shale well enters your furnace. The pressure and temperature of the mixture are 17 °C and 100 kPa. A molar analysis shows the gas is 80% methane, 10% ethane, and 10% propane. Determine the following:
a.) Mass fraction of each component (10 points)
b.) The partial pressure of each component (10 points)
c.) The mass flow rate in kg/s for a volumetric flowrate of 1m3 /sec (10 points)

The Destruction of Jericho The Bible describes the Exodus as a period of 40 years that began with plagues in Egypt and ended with the destruction of Jericho. Archeologists seeking to establish the exact dates of these events have proposed that the plagues coincided with a huge eruption of the volcano Thera in the Aegean Sea Radiocarbon dating of blackened grains from the site of ancient Jericho provides a date of 1315 BC +/- 13 years for the fall of the city. What is the relative amount of 14C in the old grain vs. the new grain in 2007 AD

A water sample is prepared by adding 10-4M NaCl, 10-3 M NaHCO3 and 10-4 M CaCl2 to water. Assume that when these salts dissolve, they dissociate to Na+, Cl- , Ca2+, and HCO3 - and then do not react further. a. Compute the ionic strength of the solution. b. What is the activity of each dissolved ion if the infinitely solution approximation applies and the infinite dilution scale is used? What is the activity of each ion if the extended Debye-Huckel equation applies? c. Calculate the activities of all ions if the NaCl concentration is increased by three order of magnitude to 0.1 M to model an estuarine water.

1. Calculate how to make 500.0 mL of 0.100 M triethanolaime solution.
2. You need to prepare a buffer for biochemistry lab. The required solution is 0.5 M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0. Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to calculate the number of moles and grams of monobasic sodium phosphate (NaH2PO4) and dibasic sodium phosphate (Na2HPO4) necessary to make 1 liter of the solution.
3. Dscribe how you would prepare a 0.1 M glycine buffer of pH 10.0. You have available isoelectric glycine and sodium glycinate. Does it matter if you use sodium glycinate or potassium glycinate for buffer? Why or why not?
4. Describe how you would prepare a 0.20 M Tris-HCl buffer of pH 8.0. The only Tris reagent you have available is Tris base. What other reagent do you need, and how would you use it to prepare the solution?
Please show all work. I appreciate the help!
