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

Assume that 8.5 L of iodine gas (I2) are produced at STP according to the following balanced equation:2KI(aq) + Cl2(
Aliun [14]

Answer: 0.3794 moles of Iodine gas are produced.

Explanation:

2KI(aq)+Cl_2(
g)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+I_2

Volume of iodine gas produced at STP =8.5 L

At STP, the 1 mol of gas occupies volume = 22.4 L

So, 8.5 L of volume will be occupied by:\frac{1}{22.4 L}\times 8.5=0.3794 moles

0.3794 moles of Iodine gas are produced.

The boiling point of water is 100.0°C at 1 atmosphere. How many grams of sodium acetate (82.04 g/mol), must be dissolved in 283.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I have to weight 10,04 g of acetate sodium

Explanation:

This is the colligative propertie about elevation of boiling point

ΔT = Kb . m . i  

ΔT is the difference between T° at boiling point of the solution - T° at boiling point of the solvent pure  - we have this data 0,450°C

Kb means ebulloscopic constant (0,52 °C.kg/m .- a known value for water)

m means molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

i means theVan 't Hoff factor (degree of dissociation for a compound)

For the sodium acetate is 2

NaCH3COO ---> Na+  + CH3COO-

0,450°C = 0,52°C.kg/m . m . 2

0,450°C / (0,52°C.kg/m . 2) = m

0,432 m/kg = m

This number means I have 0,432 moles of acetate sodium, my solute in 1kg of water, my solvent. But I don't have 1000 g (1kg) I only have 283 g so let's make the rule of three:

1000 g _____ 0,432 moles

283 g ______ (283g .0,432m) / 1000g = 0,122 moles

Now that I have the moles of acetate sodium, I have to find the mass.

Moles . molar mass = mass

0,122 moles . 82.04 g/mol = 10,04 g
