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.
It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
There are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.
Given that;
1 mole of Mo(NO3)6 contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms of Nitrogen
x moles of Mo(NO3)6 contains 2.22 x 10^22 atoms of nitrogen
x = 1 mole × 2.22 x 10^22 atoms/6.02 × 10^23 atoms
x = 0.0368 moles
The number of oxygen atoms in the sample is given by; 0.0368 × 6.02 × 10^23 × 18
Therefore, there are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.
