Answer:

It is a test for proteins in urine

Explanation:

The Biuret reagent is made of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrated copper(II) sulfate. The biuret reagent is commonly used to test for proteins. The biuret test is also known as Piotrowski's test. It is a chemical test commonly used in detecting the presence of peptide bonds. In the presence of peptides, a copper(II) ion forms purple-colored coordination complexes in an alkaline solution.

Hence the addition of this Biuret reagent to a urine sample in a test tube aims to detect the presence or absence of proteins in the given urine sample. If there is protein in the urine sample, the blue colour of the Biuret reagent turns purple. If there is no protein in the urine sample, the Biuret reagent remains blue.

In an alkaline solution, copper II is able to form a complex with the peptide bonds in proteins. Once this complex has been formed, the Biuret solution turns from a blue color to a purple color. This is the positive test for proteins.

State 3 functions of enzymes in the body
9966 [12]
<span>Enzymes have three main characteristics. First, they increase the rate of a natural chemical reaction. Secondly, they typically only react with one specific substrate or reactant, and thirdly, enzyme activity is regulated and controlled within the cell through several different means, including regulation by inhibitors and activators. It is possible to group enzymes into different categories, including oxidases, transferases, hydrolases, lyaes, isomerases and ligases. In naming enzymes, the "-ase" suffix is often appended to the name of the substrate molecule upon which which the enzyme reacts. For example, the enzyme sucrase catalyzes the transformation of the sugar sucrose in to glucose and fructose. In this case, the "sucr-" suffix represents the molecule upon which the sucrase enzyme reacts. Not all enzymes are named according to this convention.</span>

Element X had a mass of 300g and a 1/2 life of 10 years. how many grams will remain after 40 years?
kiruha [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.75 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
  • In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
  • To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;

Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life

                                 = 40 years ÷ 10 years

                                  = 4

Therefore;

Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴

                            = 300 g × 1/16

                             = 18.75 g

Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
