Insulin contain 3.4% sulphur. Calculate the minimum mass of insullin.

Answer»

Solution :Minimum MOLECULAR MASS of INSULIN will be the mass containing at least ONE ATOM of sulphur.
But one atoms of S = 32 amu
Given that 3.4 amu of sulphur is present in 100 amu of insulin
`therefore"32 amu of sulphur will be present in insulin"=(100)/(3.4)xx32=941.2amu`
Hence, minimum mass of insulin = 941.2 amu.
