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

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following half-reactions occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The following reaction will occur at cathode:

Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)

Explanation:

The two half reaction during electrolysis of aqueous nickel sulfate will be

a) anode reaction :

Water will undergo oxidation and will evolve oxygen gas at anode as shown in the given reaction:

2H_{2}O(l) ----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 4e

b) Cathode reaction: The reduction of Nickel ion will occur by gain of two electrons as shown in the given equation:

Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be:

2H_{2}O(l) + 2Ni^{+2}----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 2Ni(s)

Why is photosynthesis an endothermic reaction?
diamong [38]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water is used by the plants to make their on food.  

Plants absorb energy in the form of heat from the sunlight and thus produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. This absorbed energy is then used to start various chemical and biochemical reactions in the plants.

Hence, photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that a large amount of energy is required to activate the reaction.

Can someone provide me with 5 different sentences describing what the boundry type Divergent - Mid-Ocean Ridge is? 10 POINTS!!
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The massive mid-ocean ridge system is a continuous range of underwater volcanoes that wraps around the globe like seams on a baseball, stretching nearly 65,000 kilometers (40,390 miles).

The majority of the system is underwater, with an average water depth to the top of the ridge of 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).

Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart.

As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.

The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge – slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

tell me if this is wrong please
