Absorbance measures the ability of the substance to absorb light at a specific wavelength.

Absorbance is also equal to the product of molar absorptivity, path length and molar concentration.

The mathematical expression is given as:

A= \epsilon l c       (1)

where, A = absorbance

\epsilon =  molar absorptivity

l = path length

c  = molar concentration.

The above formula is said to Beer's Law.

Absorptivity of protein x  = 0.4 mLmg^{-1}cm^{-1}

Path length = 1 cm

Molar concentration = 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

Put the values in formula (1)

Absorbance at 280 nm = 0.4 mL mg^{-1}cm^{-1}\times 1 cm \times 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

= 0.8

Thus, absorbance at 280 nm = 0.8

Explain the relationship between forward and reverse
serious [3.7K]

If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish equilibrium. If a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change. This page covers changes to the position of equilibrium due to such changes and discusses briefly why catalysts have no effect on the equilibrium position.

For example, if the system is changed in a way that increases the concentration of one of the reacting species, it must favor the reaction in which that species is consumed. In other words, if there is an increase in products, the reaction quotient, Qc, is increased, making it greater than the equilibrium constant, Kc.

Given the equation Ca + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + H2 how many grams of calcium will react completely with 10.0 grams of water? *
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of H_2O

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{10.0g}{18g/mol}=0.55moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of H_2O require = 1 mole of Ca

Thus 0.55 moles of H_2O require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.55=0.275moles  of Ca  

Mass of Ca=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.275moles\times 40g/mol=11g

Thus 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which it is formed. a. cations are much small
koban [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
  • When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.

What’s a giant hunk of rock and metal
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: “We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.”
