Answer:
The sum of the molar masses of each isotope of the element.
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
The formula that would represent an ionic compound that is composed of calcium and iodide ions is CaI2
Explanation
Ionic compound CaI₂ is formed when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>) by gaining one electron each.
When writing down formula of ionic compound, the formula of cation is written first followed by anion formula. therefore Ca is written first followed by I.
The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved in bonding.
