Suppose that Biuret reagent turns purple when it is added to an unknown substance. What can you conclude about the substance?

Chemistry

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
6 0

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 maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space ( s = 1350 w/m 2) on a flat black surface? a. 2. 25 × 10−5 p
mel-nik [20]

The maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space on a flat black surface is  4.5 × 10^{-6}  P a. So, the correct option is (b).

Radiation pressure is the name for the force electromagnetic wave particles exert on a surface. It is inversely related to the wave's speed. Given data

Solar constant  ( S )  =  1350W / m ^2

Now, the radiaton pressure is given by

P = 2 S /c

where c is the speed of the light

P = 2 × 1350 /3 × 10 ^8

P = 9 × 10^{-6}  P a

For a black surface, P = 4.5× 10^{-6}  P a

Therefore, maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space on a flat black surface is  4.5 × 10^{-6}  P a

A hot air balloon starts with its temperature at 68.7°C and a pressure of 0.987 ATM and volume of 564L at what temperature in de
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

54.7°C is the new temperature

Explanation:

We combine the Ideal Gases Law equation to solve this.

P . V = n. R. T

As moles the balloon does not change and R is a constant, we can think this relation between the two situations:

P₁ . V₁ / T₁ = P₂ . V₂ / T₂

T° is absolute temperature (T°C + 273)

68.7°C + 273 = 341.7K

(0.987 atm . 564L) / 341.7K = (0.852 atm . 625L) / T₂

1.63 atm.L/K = 532.5 atm.L / T₂

T₂ = 532.5 atm.L / 1.63 K/atm.L → 326.7K

T° in C = T°K - 273 → 326.7K + 273 = 54.7°C
