Answer:

the unknown substance is a protein

Explanation:

The biuret test is one of the tests for proteins. It  can be used to  detect peptide linkages. The biuret test is carried out in an alkaline solution. A coordination complex is formed  leading to the appearance of a  violet color.

Summarily, the biuret method is a colorimetric technique used to test for proteins and peptides.  It involves the formation of  a purple (violet) complex of Copper salts in alkaline solution.

Hence when the biuret reagent is added to an unknown substance and it turns purple, the unknown substance is a protein

Consider a 100-gram sample of radioactive cobalt-60.
svetlana [45]

It will take 5.2 years to decay.

The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.

here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,

so, (\frac{1}{2} )^{n} = 0.5

n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)

n = 1

So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.

what do you mean by radioactive decay ?

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.

posledela

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

When silver nitrate reacts with copper, copper(II) nitrate and silver are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

Suppose 6 moles of silver nitrate react. The reaction consumes___ moles of copper. The reaction produces __ moles of copper(II) nitrate and __ moles of silver.

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 6 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

  • <u>For copper metal:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of copper metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol of copper metal

Moles of copper reacted = 3 moles

  • <u>For copper(II) nitrate:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of copper(II) nitrate

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol of copper(II) nitrate

Moles of copper(II) nitrate produced = 3 moles

  • <u>For silver metal:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 2 moles of silver metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 6=6mol of silver metal

Moles of silver metal produced = 3 moles

Hence, the amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

What is frequency? How can sound wave having different frequencies have the same speed​
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The more rigid (or less compressible) the medium, the faster the speed of sound
