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 hydrogen atoms are in 5.20 mol of ammonium sulfide?
Fofino [41]
1) Molecular formula of ammonium sulfide

(NH4)2 S

2) That means that there are 2*4 = 8 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of ammoium sulfide, so in 5.20 mol of molecules will be 8 * 5.20 mol = 41.6 moles of atoms of hydrogen

3) To pass to number of atoms multiply by Avogadro's number: 6.022 * 10^23

41.6 moles * 6.022 * 10^23 atoms / mol = 250.5 * 10^23 = 2.50 * 10^25 atoms

Answer: 2.50 * 10^25

Where is the mass of an atom found? Explain.
muminat

Explanation:

Over 99.9% percent of an atom's mass resides in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons in the center of the atom are about 2000 times heavier than the electrons orbiting around it.

Because the electrons are so light by comparison,they represent only a tiny fraction of a percent of the atom's total weight.

Hope this answer helps you!
