Answer:

b. 2.25 x 10^-3 M

Explanation:

Please remember that according to Beer´s, law the absorbance is given by

A = Acl where A = absorbance, A is the molar absorptivity, c is concentration (M) and l is the path length of the cubette of used.

Now it follows from this equation that the absorbance is linearly related to concentration and what we are being told is that experimentally the linear equation obtained during calibration was:

A = 195 c + 0.079

We have all the information required to solve this question to solve for c:

0.517 = 195 c + 0.079 ⇒ c = (0.517 - 0.079) AU/ 195 AU/M = 2.25 x 10⁻³ M

A sample of 5.00 mol of gas in a 10.00 L container is at 45.0 °C. What is the pressure of the gas?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The pressure of the gas is 13, 04 atm.

Explanation:

We use deal gas formula. First, we convert the unit of temperature in Celsius into Kelvin. We use the constant R= 0,082 l atm /K mol.Then, we solve P (pressure).

0°C=273 K   45°C= 273 + 45= 318 K

PV=nRT   -----> P= (nRT)/V

P= (5 mol x 0,082 l atm /K mol x 318 K)/ 10 L

<em>P= 13,038 atm</em>

What resources should the scientist use to research water pollution?
Alla [95]
A scientist needs to check several parameters before coming to a conclusion about the amount of water pollution. The scientists needs to check the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, temperature of the water, the clarity of the water, the PH level of the water and also the amount of bacteria present in the water. There may be other criteria’s, but the mentioned ones are enough to gauge the amount of pollution in the water. Scientists often takes fish and aquatic plants from the water to be tested to check the amount of pollution indirectly affecting these species.
