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

1. A calorimeter contains 143 g of water at 22.5°C. A 12 g sample of NaCl is added to the water in the calorimeter. After the so
klio [65]

Answer:

Enthalpy of solution is 583.67 J

Explanation:

The mass of water is 143 g

The mass of NaCl added = 12g

Total mass of solution will be = massofwater+massofNaCl=143+12=155g

The specific heat of solution = specific heat of water = 4.184 J /g °C

The initial temperature = 22.5°C

Final temperature =21.6°

The change in temperature = Initial-Final=22.5^{0}-21.6^{0}=0.9^{0}

The enthalpy of solution will be equal to the heat change in the solution.

The heat change of solution will be calculated as:

Heat=massofsolutionXspecificheatXchangeintemperature

Heat=155x4.184X0.9=583.67J

Thus the enthalpy of solution is 583.67 J (Endothermic reaction)

How can you minimize thermal energy transfer?​
vagabundo [1.1K]
Simple ways to reduce heat loss include fitting carpets, curtains and draught excluders. It is even possible to fit reflective foil in the walls or on them. Heat loss through windows can be reduced by using double glazing. These special windows have air or a vacuum between two panes of glass.
