Smooth muscle myosin is a motor protein that plays a crucial role in the contraction of smooth muscle. If this protein has a molar mass of 480,000 grams/mol, what is the mass, in grams, of 27 moles of smooth muscle myosin

Answer :

Answer: Thus the mass, in grams, of 27 moles of smooth muscle myosin is 12960000 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass, occupies 22.4 L at STP  contains avogadro's number [tex](6.023\times 10^{23})[/tex] of particles.

Molecular mass of protein = 480,000 g/mol

Thus 1 mole of protein weighs = 480,000 g

So 27 moles of protein weighs = [tex]\frac{480,000}{1}\times 27=12960000g[/tex]

Thus the mass, in grams, of 27 moles of smooth muscle myosin is 12960000 grams
