During a spectrophotometric analysis of an unknown, you measure your solution's absorbance, and the value is higher than the hig

hest standard you used to make your standard curve. What should you do to make sure you can use your standard curve to determine the unknown's concertration?
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.B) A new set of standard solutions should be made to accommodate the unknown solution concentration. Beer's law is linear even at high concentrations, but a new concentration curve should be made to illustrate this point. Even though it is more work, making new standard solutions is a better method of obtaining correct results.C) There is no need to do anything to the unknown solution. Beer's law describes the relationship between absorbance and concentration. This relationship is linear even at high concentrations, so the standard curve equation will apply for any concentration of that specific solution.D) Pour a specified amount of the unknown solution into each of the standard curve solutions. This process will increase the absorbance of the solutions, to the point that the unknown solution's absorbance will fit within the standard curve appropriately.

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Beer's law is no longer valid.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

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.

Suppose you wish to apply SSA to a triangle, in order to find an angle
emmasim [6.3K]
First of all there nothing exists something like SSA congruence criterion, It is SAS Congruence where the sides of a Triangle and the angle between them is exactly same to the other two sides and angle between them of another triangle.

So the correct option is D.

Explanation:

If the Triangle has two sides equal, so the two angles there are equal. Also the other angle be some other definite angle. So

45+x+x=180(Considering definite angle to be 45)
2x=135
x=67.5

So there is only one solution to the triangle.

What volume of air at 25°C and 1.00 atm can he stored in a 10.0 L high-pressure air tank if compressed to 25°C and 175 atm?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1750L

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature = 25°C

Initial Pressure = 175 atm

Initial Volume = 10.0L

Final Temperature = 25°C

Final Pressure = 1 atm

Final Volume = ?

This question is an illustration of ideal gas law.

From the given parameters, the initial temperature and final temperature are the same; this implies that the system has a constant temperature.

As such, we'll make use of Boyle's Law to solve this;

Boyle's Law States that:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ represent Initial and Final Pressure, respectively

While V₁ and V₂ represent Initial and final volume

The equation becomes

175 atm * 10L = 1 atm * V₂

1750 atm L = 1 atm * V₂

1750 L = V₂

Hence, the final volume that can be stored is 1750L

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?
blagie [28]

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).
