In the spectrophotometric analysis of benzene, the calibration curve has a slope of 195 AU/M and an intercept of 0.079 AU. If an

unknown has an absorbance of 0.517 AU, what is the concentration of benzene in the sample?
a. 2.09 x10^-4 M
b. 2.25 x 10^-3 M
c. 2.65 x 10^-3 M
d. 0.438 M

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

Can atoms combine in different ways to make up all of the substances you encouter every day
qaws [65]
Majority can such as hydrogen H and oxygen O forming water H2O but uranium having extra neutrons to form plutonium and beyond simply can't because it will not last for a fraction of a second or spiral out of control and violently react like the little boy and the fat man (a uranium and plutonium nuclear weapon) so yes and no

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?
Gemiola [76]
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.

How many moles of water would form the reaction of exactly 58.3 grams of magnesium hydroxide
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{2.00 mol}}

Explanation:

We know we will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

You don't tell us what the reaction is, but we can solve the problem so long as we balance the OH.

M_r:      58.32

          Mg(OH)₂ + … ⟶ … + 2HOH

m/g:       58.3

(a) Moles of Mg(OH)₂

\text{Moles of Mg(OH)$_{2}$} =\text{58.3 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}{\text{58.32 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\=\text{0.9997 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}

(b) Moles of H₂O

The molar ratio is 2 mol H₂O = 1 mol Mg(OH)₂.

\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O}= \text{0.9995 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol {H$_{2}$O}}}{ \text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \textbf{2.00 mol H$_{2}$O}

The reaction will form \boxed{\textbf{2.00 mol}} of water.
