6. Using copper pennies (assume they are 100% copper), measure one mole of copper. Compare the size and shape of your pile with the
piles of other students. Notice that even though they may look
different, they all contain one mole of copper.

Achemist at a pharmaceutical company is measuring equilibrium constants for reactions in which drug candidate molecules bind to a protein involved in cancer. the drug molecules bind the protein in a 1: 1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. the protein concentration in aqueous solution at 25 ˚c is 1.74 x10-6 m . drug a is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. drug b is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. at equilibrium, the drug a-protein solution has an a-protein complex concentration of 1.00 x10-6m, and the drug b solution has a b-protein complex concentration of 1.40 x10-6m. a. calculate the kc value for the a-protein binding reaction. b. calculate the kc value for the b-protein binding reaction. c. assuming that the drug that binds more strongly will be more effective, which drug is the better choice for further research?
