Explanation:

The scale is pushing back up against her feet with the same amount of force but in negative direction.

This can be explain using Newton's third law of motion which states that "action and reaction are equal and opposite".

As the girl weight pulls down on the scale in a positive way with a force of 42N, the scale pulls back with an equal amount of force upward in another direction.

The net force here is zero this is why the scale is not damaged by her weight.

A sample was prepared by mixing 18. ml of 3.00 x 10^-3 m crystal violet (cv) with 2.00 ml of 0.250 m naoh. calculate the resulti

Aleks [24]

Answer : The resulting concentrations of CV and NaOH are 0.0027 M and 0.025 M respectively.

Explanation :

Step 1 : Find moles of crystal violet and NaOH.

The molarity formula is

$Molarity = \frac{mol}{L}$

Molarity of crystal violet = $3.00 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mol (CrystalViolet)}{L}$

The volume of crystal violet solution is 18 mL which is 0.018 L.

Moles of crystal violet = $3.00 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.018 = 5.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Moles of crystal violet = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵

Moles of NaOH = $Molarity \times L = 0.250 \times 0.00200 = 5.00 \times 10^{-4}$

Moles of NaOH = 5.00 x 10⁻⁴

Step 2 : Find total volume of the solution

The total volume of the solution after mixing NaOH and crystal violet is

0.018 L + 0.00200 = 0.020 L

Step 3 : Use molarity formula to find final concentrations

Molarity of crystal violet = $\frac{mol(CrystalViolet)}{Total Volume(L) } = \frac{5.4 \times 10^{-5}}{0.020} = 2.7 \times 10^{-3}$

Final concentration of CV = 0.0027 M

Molarity of NaOH= $\frac{mol(NaOH)}{Total Volume(L) } = \frac{5.00 \times 10^{-4}}{0.020} = 0.025 \times 10^{-3}$

NaOH is a strong base and dissociates completely as follows.

$NaOH (aq) \rightarrow Na^{+} (aq) + OH^{-} (aq)$

The mole ratio of NaOH and OH⁻ is 1:1 . Therefore the concentration of OH⁻ is same as that of NaOH.

Concentration of OH⁻ = 0.025 M

C.
This is because the water has undergone a physical change meaning that the effects can be reversed. If nothing was added or lost from the water the ice would be the exact same weight.

A 0.0000792 M sample of Compound X in a solvent has an absorbance of 0.341 at 528 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet. The solvent alone has

natima [27]

Answer:

a) a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) C = 0,000127 M

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law says that there is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of a chemical substance. The formula is:

A = a×b×C

Where A is absorbance, a is molar absorptivity, b is path length and C is concentration.

a) In the problem Concentration is 0.0000792 M, b is 1,000cm and Absorbance is absorbance of sample-absorbance of blank: 0,341-0,065 = 0,276

Replacing:

0,276 = a×1,000cm×0,0000792M

a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) As the experiment consist in the same compound in the same solvent, the molar absorptivity will be the same, a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, path length will be 1,000cm and absorbance: 0,508-0,065 = 0,443

Replacing:

0,443 = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹×1,000cm×C

C = 0,000127 M

I hope it helps!
