Answer:
Compound 1 is molecular
Compound 2 is ionic
Compound 3 can't really be decided
Explanation:
A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.
An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.
Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.
On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.
We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.
Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.
If this is just a general question it seems to vary from about 4.5g to 5g. Is there more data to the question?
