By what means is composition of totally unknown liquid determined?
In: Chemistry
I’ve actually just started learning this in biology lately. Chemists can test the composition of a substance through an ‘Indicator’, they’re substances or chemical compounds that, when added to another fluid will change the color depending on what ingredients are present. Some basic ingredients I’ve learned can be detected through this easier method are Protein and Starch. Starch hinting the existence of plant origin because it’s made up of concentrated glucose, and protein indicating that it’s part of an animal or came from one.
