Answer:

Pure substances can be divided into two groups: elements and compounds.

Explanation:

Pure substances can be recognized because they have a definite constant composition, as can be seen in the formula, and distinct chemical properties.

For example, H₂O is a pure substance where the relation of 2 atoms of Hydrogen to 1 atom of Oxygen is always true. O₂ is also a pure substance because 1 molecule of O₂ always contains two atoms of Oxygen.

As we can see from above, pure substances can be formed by one or more types of atoms. Substances formed by 2 or more types of atoms are known as compounds (e.g. H₂O, CO₂). Substances formed by 1 type of atoms are known as elements (e.g. Na, O₂, O₃).

Compounds and elements are kinds of pure substances, so they inherit all properties from them (definite constant composition, distinct chemical properties).

Reil [10]

Answer:

A) Dilute the unknown so that it will have an absorbance within the standard curve. Once the diluted unknown concentration is determined, the full strength concentration can be calculated if the dilution process is recorded. Beer's law only applies to dilute solutions, so diluting the unknown is better than making new standards.

Explanation:

Beer's law states that absorbance is proportional to the concentrations of the absorbing species. This is verified in the case of diluted solutions (0≤0.01 M) of most substances. As a solution gets more concentrated, solute molecules interact between themselves because of their proximity. When a molecule interacts with another, the change in their electric properties (including absorbance) is probable. That's why the plot of absorbance versus concentration stops being a straight line, and Beer's law is no longer valid.

Therefore, if the absorbance value is higher than the highest standard, dilutions should be made. Once this concentration is determined, the full strength concentration can be calculated with the inverse of the dilution.
