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

An unknown gas with a formula of HX is contained in a 25.0 L tank at 1.2 atm and 25.0 oC. What is the chemical formula of the ga
ozzi

Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

Volume = 25L

Temperature = 25.0 oC + 273 = 298 K (Converting to kelvin units)

Pressure = 1.2 atm

Mass of gas = 44.7g

Formular of gas = HX

To solve this, we have to know the identity of X. One qay to do that is by obtaining the molecular mass of the compound.

To get the molar mass, we need the number of mole.

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant = 0.082 057 L atm K−1  mol−1

n = PV / RT

n = 1.2 * 25  / 0.082 057 * 298

n = 30  /  24.45

n = 1.227 mol

The relationship between number of moles and molar mass is given as;

Nummber f moles = mass  / molar mass

Molar mass = mass  / Number of moles

Molar mass = 44.7 / 1.227

Molar mass =  36.43 g/mol

Molar mass of gas X = Molar mass of H + Molar mass of X

36.43 = 1 + X

X = 36.43 - 1 = 35.43

Chlorine is the only element with molar mass approximate to 35.43

Hence X = Cl

The chemical formular = HCl
