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

What is the mass of 0.714 moles of Mercury (I) Chloride (Hg2Cl2)?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Data:

m (<span>Sample Mass) = ? 
n (</span><span>Number of moles) = 0.714 mol
MM (Molar Mass) of </span>Mercury (I) Chloride (Hg_{2}  Cl_{2})
Hg = 2*200.59 = 401.18 amu
Cl = 2*35.453 = 70.906 amu
----------------------------------------
Molar Mass Hg_{2} Cl_{2} = 401.18 + 70.906 = 472.086 ≈ 472.09<span> amu or 472.09 g/mol
</span>
Formula:

n =  \frac{m}{MM}

Solving:


n = \frac{m}{MM}
0.714 =  \frac{m}{472.09}
m = 337.07226\:\to\:\boxed{\boxed{m\approx 337 g}} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Answer:
By approximation would be letter D) <span>337.2 g</span>

Which one would it be since covalent bond is not here :( please help meeee
timurjin [86]
Non polar covalent bond. The Cl's electronegativity is the same since it's the same atom. Therefore, they will be nonpolar

A salt shaker filled with 17.0g sodium chloride contain how many moles?
kati45 [8]
The molecular formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. The sum of their atomic weights is (22.99 grams/mole + 35.45 grams/mole) = 58.44 grams/mole
take (17.0 grams)/(58.44 grams/mole), which equals 0.291 moles of NaCl.
