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.

The total charge of an atom comes from
Rus_ich [418]

The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.

The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.

An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.

Can someone please help me
Mrrafil [7]
I think the answer would be A because O is oxygen and it has 7. Although it’s in parentheses and has a 2 on the outside of those parentheses, so you would multiply and 7 x 2 = 14. 14 is larger than the other ones.
Hopefully I’m right and hopefully that helps.

1. How many atoms are there in 2.8 moles of carbon? You must show your work to receive credit.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

1.-  1.686 x 10²⁴ atoms

2.- 0.25 moles

Explanation:

1.-

              1 mol ---------------- 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

             2.8 moles ----------  x

              x = (2.8 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 1

              x = 1.686 x 10²⁴ atoms

2.-           1 mol ------------------ 6.023 x 10 ²³ molecules

               x moles -------------  1.50 x 10²³ molecules

              x = (1.50 x 10²³ x 1) / 6.023 x 10²³

              x = 0.25 moles
