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

A polar bond is formed with atoms having different electronegativities. The bonding electrons are attracted more towards the atom with greater electronegativity resulting in unequal sharing of electrons. Therefore the molecule develop partial charges and becomes polar. Polar molecules have dipole moment that is the partial charge on molecules due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.

A non-polar bond is formed with atoms having the same electronegativity, hence the bonded pair of electron is shared equally between atoms. Non-polar molecules have no moment.
Note that: symmetrical molecules having polar bonds are non-polar because the dipoles of the bond exert equal and opposite effect. Hence the dipoles cancel the charges.

Example: HCl
In HCl, Cl is more electronegative therefore Cl atom pulls the electron pair of the covalent bond towards itself and develops a partial negative charge. Consequently H develops a partial positive charge. This therfore leads to the formation of a dipole.

What is the oxidation number for s in s2o4?
hoa [83]
The oxidation number of O is -2 and there's 4 of them so the total is -8. Since it's a molecule the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms must equal 0. If 4 oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -8 then the two S atoms must is +8 to equal 0 so the oxidation number of the S is 8/2 = +4

5. What is the molar mass of ethanol (C2H5OH)?
AVprozaik [17]
<h2>D) 46.07 g/mol</h2>

The molar mass is given by the sum of the atomic masses of the component elements of the substance.

In our case, the substance is ethanol or C₂H₅OH.

A_C=12.011

A_H=1.0079

A_O=15.9994

\mathcal M_{C_2H_5OH} = 2 \times A_C + 6 \times A_H + A_O = 2 \times 12.011 + 6 \times 1.00079+ 15.999 4= 24.022 + 6.0474 + 15.9994= 46.069≈ \boxed{46.07 \dfrac{g}{mol}}
