Question

A 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 35 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCL. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 570 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter).

  1. i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample.
  2. ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample.

iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as

% Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100

  1. iv) state your answer in a complete sentence.
