Question

Grams of protein in 237 ml buttermilk = 9 g

Therefore grams of protein in 1000 ml (1 L) buttermilk = × 1000 ml

                                                                  = 37.97 g

Moles of amino acids in 37.97 g of protein =

                                               = 0.345 mol

Mass of protein = mass of amino acids bcz protein is made up of amino acids

Here used equation to find Moles of amino acids in 37.97 g of protein is

n =         n = no. of moles    m = mass of sample      M= molar mass

Therefore no. of molecules of amino acids = 0.345 mol × 6.022 × 1023

                                                                                                      = 2.078 × 1023

Here used equation to find no. of molecules of amino acids is

n =        n= no of moles     N = no of molecules    NA = Avogadro constant

no of protein molecules made from 330 amino acids = 1

therefore no of protein molecules

made from 2.078 × 1023 amino acids =   × 2.078 × 1023

                                                                                     = 6.23 × 10 20

Answer = 6.23 × 10 20 protein molecules

made from 2.078 × 1023 amino acids =   × 2.078 × 1023

                                                                                     = 6.23 × 10 20

Answer = 6.23 × 10 20 protein molecules

Explanation / Answer

Components in Buttermilk - Protein 0.0/2.0 points (graded) Buttermilk has 9 grams of protein per cup (237ml). If the average milk protein is 330 amino acids long, and the average amino acid has a mass of 110 g/mol, how many molecules of protein are there in one liter of buttermilk?
