a solution with a transmittance of 0.44 is analyzed in a spectrophotometer with 6% stray light. calculate the absorbance reporte

IgorLugansk [536]

The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.

Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T

Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer

Tm = 0.44

Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654

True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)

S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06

α= 1, ideal case

T = true transmittance of the sample

Tm = T+S(α-T)

now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233

therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)

i.e; 0.3933

What is the symbol for the carbon isotope with seven neutrons?

Tresset [83]

Carbon -13 has 7 neutrons and carbon -12 has six neutrons. Carbon -12 is the most common isotope of Carbon. Carbon -14 is radioactive and vary rare. The symbols for the isotopes of Carbon atoms shown here indicate they each have six protons but mass numbers of 14, 13, and 12. Hope this helps. :)

Isotopes that decay with a nuclear break-up and emit a significant amount of energy are said to be ________.

podryga [215]

Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.

Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example $_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}$ and $_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}$ are the two isotopes of Hydrogen ( $_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}$ ).

Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :

Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. $_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_{2}^{4}\alpha$

Beta Decay: In this decay a $\beta$ particle is emitted increasing the atomic number of the reactant by 1 unit.

$_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^{0}\beta$

Gamma Radiation: In this type of reaction only radiation is emitted out which does not change the original molecule.

$_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+\gamma\text{ radiation}$

Solving part-1 only

KMnO_4

Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)

Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn

Let's find how?

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1+4(-2)=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1-8=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x-7=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x=+7$

x is the oxidation number
