A 5.00-mL sample of blood was treated with trichloroacetic acid to precipitate proteins. After centrifugation, the resulting sol

ution was brought to a pH of 3 and was extracted with two 5-mL portions of methyl isobutyl ketone containing the organic lead complexing agent APCD. The extract was aspirated directly into an air-acetylene flame yielding an absorbance of 0.454 at 283.3 nm. Five-milliliter aliquots of standard solutions containing 0.240 and 0.475 ppm Pb were treated in the same way and yielded absorbances of 0.412 and 0.642. Calculate the concentration Pb (ppm) in the sample assuming that Beer’s law is followed.

Explanation:

According to the Beer-lambert' s law,

        Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration

So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line

Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.

   The slope of graph = \frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}

The given data is as follows.

     A_{1} = 0.412 (first point)

     A_{2} = 0.642 (second point)

     C_{1} = 0.240 ppm (first point)

     C_{2} = 0.475 ppm (second point)

Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.

           Slope = \frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}

                     = \frac{0.642 - 0.412}{0.475 - 0.240}

                      = \frac{0.23}{0.235}

                     = 0.978

It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.

                       y = mx + c  ........... (1)

where,      C = intercept

                 m = slope

Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.

           0.412 = 0.24 \times 0.978 + c

               c = 0.178

As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.

                     y = mx + c

                  0.454 = x \times 0.978 + 0.178

                   0.276 = 0.978x

                         x = 0.282 ppm

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.

a beaker of benzene is at room temperature. what is its vapor pressure. Is this vapor pressure large enough to cause the benzene
Serhud [2]

Answer:

(1). The vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C.

(2). No, benzene will not boil at sea level.

Explanation:

Benzene, C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mol and Melting point of 5.5 °C. One of the importance or the uses of benzene is in the making of fibres and plastics.

The vapour pressure of benzene can be gotten from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids.

Boiling point can simply be defined as the point or the temperature in which the vapor pressure is the same with the atmospheric pressure.

The atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at sea level is at the temperature of 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg( from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids).

71 mmHg is not equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.

The cell potential of a redox reaction occurring in an electrochemical cell under any set of temperature and concentration condi
avanturin [10]

Answer : The actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given redox reaction is :

Ni^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Ni(s)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(0.0141)}{(0.00104)}=13.6

The value of the reaction quotient, Q, for the cell is, 13.6

Now we have to calculate the actual cell potential of the cell.

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{RT}{nF}\ln Q

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 316 K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2 mole

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.51 V

E_{cell} = actual cell potential of the cell = ?

Q = reaction quotient = 13.6

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0.51-\frac{(8.314)\times (316)}{2\times 96500}\ln (13.6)

E_{cell}=0.47V

Therefore, the actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:


                  Option-B (water) is the correct answer.


Explanation:

                 Gas hydrates are made up of Solid-Ice water and a natural gas like Methane gas trapped in the lattice of ice water. Gas hydrates are mainly found deep down in the sea where the atmospheric pressure is greater than 1 atm.


Generally Gas hydrates have two main applications. 

                             a) It stabilizes the sea floor other wise its melting will cause land sliding in sea floor. 

                             b) Secondly, it traps a green house gases like Methane, if released these gases could produce Climate changes.
