Insulin forms crystals of the orthorhombic type with unit-cell dimensions of
13.0 x 7.48 × 3.09 nm. If the density of the crystal is 1.315 g cm3 and
there are six insulin molecules per unit cell, what is the molar mass of the
protein insulin?
(b) Using the Crystallographer's
formula to determine the density (in g/cm³) of Po:
ρ = Σ Ζ * Μ
Vell* N
You must know that a primitive cubic cell has Z = 1
Since Po is a metal, the value of "i" = 1, since it's the only entity!
MM of Po= 208.998 g/mol
Vcell (in cm³) = a³
Vcell (3.36 x 10-8 cm)³ = 3.793 x 10-23 cm³
N = 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol
Thus: p = (1 atom/cell) (208.998 g/mol) = 9.16 g/cm³
(3.793 x 10-23 cm³) (6.022 x 1023)
