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

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Most metals have <u>luster</u> which means they <u>reflect</u> light

Explanation:

When light, which is made up of energetic photons, comes in contact with the surface of a metal, it is absorbed due to the corresponding energy gaps present between the metal orbital. The absorbed photons results in the raising of the energy levels of electrons within an atom of the metal which later drop back to a lower energy level and re-emit the photons which can now be observed as the metallic luster.

Suppose you find a rock originally made of potassium-40, half of which decays into argon-40 every 1.25 billion years. You open t
FromTheMoon [43]

We see that in 1 rock, there are 31 atoms of Argon and 1 atom of Potassium so the relative concentration of Potassium is:

1 / 32

or can be written as:

1 / 2^5

So this means that 5 half-lives have passed.

So the years are:

<span>years passed = 5 * 1.25 billion years = 6.25 billion years</span>
