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.

How many moles of CaO will be produced from 23.9 g of Ca?<br>2Ca(s) + O2(g) – 20:0(3)<br>mol​
inessss [21]

Answer:

0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium = 23.9 g

Moles of CaO produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Number of moles of calcium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 23.9 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium and CaO.

            Ca         :          CaO

              2          :          2

            0.6         :        0.6

 0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

What best explains why the box’s final kinetic energy is less than its initial potential energy
ziro4ka [17]
Some potential energy was converted into thermal energy due to friction. The acceleration due to gravity became smaller as the box slid down the ramp.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The most common non-destructive visualization method for TLC plates is ultraviolet (UV) light. A UV lamp can be used to shine either short-waved (254nm) or long-waved (365nm) ultraviolet light on a TLC plate with the touch of a button

A 2.5 L container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 291 K and 180 kPa.
netineya [11]

Answer:

The new temperature will be 565.83 K.

Explanation:

Gay Lussac's law establishes the relationship between the temperature and the pressure of a gas when the volume is constant. This law says that the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. This means that if the temperature increases, the pressure will increase; or if the temperature decreases, the pressure will decrease.

In other words, Gay-Lussac's law states that when a gas undergoes a constant volume transformation, the ratio of the pressure exerted by the gas temperature remains constant:

\frac{P}{T} =k

When an ideal gas goes from a state 1 to a state 2, it is true:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 180 kPa
  • T1= 291 K
  • P2= 350 kPa
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{180 kPa}{291 K} =\frac{350 kPa}{T2}

Solving:

T2=350 kPa*\frac{291 K}{180 kPa}

T2= 565.83 K

<u><em>The new temperature will be 565.83 K.</em></u>
