Answer:
Li atoms readily give up one electron to form positively charged, Li+ ions. These ions have the same stable electron configuration as the noble gas helium. All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions.
Explanation:
Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.
The shape of a protein molecule resembles BEADS ON A STRING.
Proteins are macro molecules that are formed from amino acids. There are different types of amino acids, thus, different amino acids combine together to form different types of protein. This means that, proteins are formed from sequences of amino acids; they are long chains of different amino acids, that is why, they are likened to beads on string.
The structures of proteins are in three dimensions, they are primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure refers to the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The amino acids in the primary structure are linked together by peptide bonds.
<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>
Given:
Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0
Let HA = acetic acid
A- = sodium acetate
Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)
pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75
Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]
[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77
[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)
From (1) and (2)
[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM
[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM
[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements
Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107
Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794
Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999
Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O
Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol
Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol
Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained
Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK.
moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984
moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629
Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen.
moles C = 0.079984
moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258
So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting
1: 1.140953
The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like)
1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953
2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906
3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859
4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812
5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765
6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718
7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671
8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624
That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8</span>
