Why must the spectrophotometer cell be removed from the instrument between readings?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natali [406]3 years ago
5 0

Spectrophotometric cell or a cuvette is made of quartz for UV spectrophotometers. These cuvettes are used as sample holders for the spectrophotometric determination of the analytes. The material that makes up the cuvette and the condition of the cuvette is to be taken care of in order to avoid erroneous absorbance readings. The sample holder or the cuvette must be removed from the spectrophotometer in between two successive readings. This is to ensure that the light sensing detector of the instrument is not affected.

aniked [119]

Answer:

Higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

Explanation:

When you open a perfume bottle at a corner of a room, after a while, its fragrance can be perceived across a distance at the other end of the room. This is because, molecules of the compound in the fragrance have moved from the area of higher concentration in the perfume bottle, across a concentration gradient to a region of lower concentration at the other end of the room. This is diffusion.

Photographs are taken of falling drops of two different liquids: Liquid X Liquid Y Note: the drops have identical volumes. Notic
aliina [53]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reason why the droplets are spherical is  the surface area to volume ratio of the falling droplet in a gravitational field. Recall that a sphere has a small surface area to volume ratio.

Between X and Y, one key difference that will define the rate at which the two drops of liquid falls is the viscosity of the fluid. Since the images were not attached, I can not really tell what liquid droplet is more flatter  than the other.

However, the liquid with a greater surface tension will form larger droplets and experience a greater air resistance as the droplet falls. Hence the less the surface tension, the flatter the droplets. Cohesive forces pull molecules of a liquid droplets inwards leading to a more spherical shape and reducing the surface area. Surface tension is therefore the reason why liquids form droplets.
