This problem pertains to poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains having a molecular weight of 10,000 g/mol. For PEO, use an estimate for a PEO Kuhn length of 1.5 nm and a molecular weight of the statistical Kuhn of about 90 g/ mol. A) Calculate the root mean square end-end distance of a PEO chain. B) Calculate the spring constant and the force needed to stretch a single PEO coil to an end-end extension of 15 nm. Recalculate the force for an extension of 30 nm. Recall that kT (which appears in the formula for the spring constant, is equal to 4.11 x 10-21 J at room temperature.) C) Calculate the spring constant for a PEO chain having a molecular weight of 100,000 g/mol. D) Now consider the stretching force to maintain a chain having 10,000 g/mol at an extension of 30 nm. If there were many chains weighing a total of a gram, all of which are stretched to the same exent, you might be able to the material deform. (When al the chains stretch the same way, it is called affine deformation.) How much stretching force would be needed to hold a gram of chains at an end-end distance of 30 nm

Description: biological systems 5 differ from chemical systems when it comes to equilibrium. in a chemical system once equilibrium is met, no other reactions occur. in a biological system, a dynamic equilibrium is used when a substrate is turned into a product, another reaction creates the same substrate thus keeping the concentrations stagnant. this allows for cells to continually make new compounds without messing the delta g for the systems instructions: write a response to the following prompt and then respond to your peers. your individual response is due thursday at midnight (cst) your response to your peers is due saturday at midnight (cst) prompt: propose what would happen if a living cell all the sudden reached chemical equilibrium. also discuss the effects of build up of a particular substrate on a biological system. how would this affect overall delta g's?
