The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.

Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T

Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer

Tm = 0.44

Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654

True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)

S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06

α= 1, ideal case

T = true transmittance of the sample

Tm = T+S(α-T)

now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233

therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)

i.e; 0.3933

A voltaic cell is constructed using the following half-reactions: Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s) EoAg+ = +0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---&
Anton [14]
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) →  Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻     E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s)     E⁰ = +0.80 V 
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
            = 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V

Which statement describes the bonds in iron sulfate, FeSO4?
Feliz [49]

___

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.

Elements form bonds to increase their stability. The main types of bonds are:

  • Metallic bonds: they are formed between metals and the electrons are in a delocalized cloud.
  • Ionic bonds: they are formed between metals (lose electrons) and nonmetals (gain electrons)
  • Covalent bonds: they are formed between nonmetals, which share electrons.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄:

  • Fe is a metal and S a nonmetal, thus they will form ionic bonds.
  • S and O are both nonmetals, thus they will form covalent bonds.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.

Can someone help please!!!!​
Valentin [98]

2. 5 acids: coffee, lemonade, soda pop, orange juice, vinegar

5bases: ammonia, baking soda, cough medicine, liquid soaps

3. Acids are very common in some of the foods we eat.

Bases have properties that mostly contrast with those acids

4. Acid+Base=H2O+Salt

HCI+NaOH=H2O+NaCI

Explanation:

2. (all those acids are strong (in pH meaning those are weak and don't affect you) (most the bases are very strong like ammonia)

4. Salt means any ionic compound formed from an acid/base reaction

Hope this helped
