Q. Insulin contains $3.4 \%$ sulphur. What will be the minimum molecular weight of insulin?

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Solution:

For minimum molecular mass, insulin must have at least one sulphur atom in its one molecule.

If it has $32\, g \,S $ then mol mass $=\frac{100 \times 32}{3.4}$

$=941.176\, g$
