Answer: (i) F = 2

(ii) F = 3

(iii) F = 2

Explanation:

We would be applying the famous Gibbs Phase Rule to explaining this problem;

By applying the formula;

F+P = C +2

Where P = this represent the phase

F = this is called the degree of freedom

C = this represent the component in the system

Ok let us begin;

(i). from this we can see that there are 2 components i.e. (water + ethanol) and the phase in question is a vapor phase + liquid phase.

So from the formula;

F = C-P+2

F = 2 – 2 + 2 = 2

Therefore, F = 2.

(ii). Also, from the statement, we can figure there are 3 components, while the phases are two like the previous one above, i.e. liquid + vapor

F = 3 – 2 + 2 = 5 – 2 = 3

F = 3

(iii). From this statement, we can figure there are 3 components, and the phases are 3 i.e. (2 liquid phases + 1 vapor phase)

From the formula;

F = 3 – 3 + 2 = 0 + 2

F = 2

What was the purpose of putting distilled water in the blank cuvette? if your unknown used ethanol as the base solvent, what wou
Margaret [11]

The purpose of using distilled water in the cuvette of the spectrophotometer is to calibrate the instrument. It is generally considered that distilled water shows zero absorbance and 100 % transmittance. So, to zero out the absorbance of compounds other than the analyte being determined, distilled water is used as a blank.

If the unknown being determined is prepared using ethanol as the base solution, the blank used must be ethanol. This is because absorbance if any from the solvent, ethanol must be zeroed out as when the measurement of the actual unknown is being made, the absorbance of the solvent does not interfere.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. ... Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).
