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
Answer:
Explanation:
To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.
An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.
Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.
Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.
Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.
Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.
The symbols are:
₂₂Ti
₂₃V¹⁺
₂₄Cr²⁺
The answer to the question is a.
To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula, you need to find a multiple (x) that will give you the molar mass of the compound which in the question is 54 g/mol.
If C₂H₃ is the empirical formula
molar mass of empirical formula = (12 × 2) + (1 × 3) g/mol
= 27 g/mol
let x = multiple
let molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ
multiple = molecular mass ÷ empirical mass
= 54 g/mol ÷ 27 g/mol
= 2
If molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ
then molecular formula = C₂₍₂₎H₃₍₂₎
= <span>C₄H</span>₆
