SECTION-D

Directions (Q. No. 31-32) : The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal
choice and carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

31. The solubility of gases increases with increase of pressure. William Henry made a systematic
investigation of the solubility of a gas in a liquid. According to Henry’s law “the mass of a gas
dissolved per unit volume of the solvent at constant temperature is directly proportional to the
pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution”.
Dalton during the same period also concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in a
liquid solution depends upon the partial pressure of the gas. If we use the mole fraction of gas
in the solution as a measure of its solubility, then Henry’s law can be modified as “the partial
pressure of the gas in the vapour phase is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the gas
in the solution.”

o
(d) The partial pressure of ethane over a saturated solution containing 6.56 # 10-2 g of ethane
is 1 bar. If the solution contains 5.00 # 10-2 g of ethane then what will be the partial
pressure (in bar) of the gas?

32. Proteins are high molecular mass complex biomolecules of amino acids. The important proteins
required for our body are enzymes, hormones, antibodies, transport proteins, structural proteins,
contractile proteins etc. Except for glycine, all α -amino acids have chiral carbon atom and
most of them have L-configuration. The amino acids exists as dipolar ion called zwitter ion,
in which a proton goes from the carboxyl group to the amino group. A large number of α
-amino acids are joined by peptide bonds forming polypeptides. The peptides having very large
molecular mass (more than 10,000) are called proteins. The structure of proteins is described as
primary structure giving sequence of linking of amino acids; secondary structure giving manner
in which polypeptide chains are arranged and folded; tertiary structure giving folding, coiling or
bonding polypeptide chains producing three dimensional structures and quaternary structure
giving arrangement of sub-units in an aggregate protein molecule.
Answer the following questions :
(a) What do you mean by proteins?
(b) What is Zwitter ion?
(c) Which type of bond is present in polypeptide? Give example?


o
(d) Which type of bonding is present in α -helix and (β -pleated structure of proteins
