Answer:

A. Reference blank

B. Cuvettes

C. Transmittance

D. Absorbance

E. Wavelength

Explanation:

A reference blank is a sample prepared using the solvent and any other chemicals in the sample solutions, but not the absorbing substance.

A square-shaped container, typically made of quartz, designed to hold samples in a spectrophotometer is known as Cuvettes.

A measurement of the amount of light that passes through a sample or percentage of light transmitted by the sample, with the respective intensities of the incident and transmitted beams is called Transmittance.

The measurement of the amount of light taken in by a sample is known as Absorbance

The wavelength is also the distance travelled by the wave during a period of oscillation. In spectrophotometry, the unit is inversely proportional to energy and commonly measured in nanometers

1. Calculate the momentum of a 1,500 kg car traveling at 6 m/s.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1. $9000kgm/s$

2. $258,000kgm/s$

Explanation:

1.Momentum is given as the product of mass by velocity of an object.

Momentum, $p=mv$

m=1,500kh, v=6m/s

$p=1500*6\\p=9000kgm/s$

2.Momentum, $p=mv$

m=7800kg, v=30m/s

$p_1=7800*30\\p_1=234,000kgm/s\\$

new mass=7800+800=8600

As mass is increased, so does the resultant velocity as mass is directly proportional to velocity.

$p_2=8600*30\\p_2=258,000kgm/s$

Consider the redox reaction below.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)

An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction? Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 8Fe + S8 → 8FeS Z

abruzzese [7]

That would be the first option Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O.

The Ca replaces the H2 in H2SO4, and the H2 replaces the Ca is Ca(OH)2.
