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

2. Using the following data, calculate the average atomic mass of magnesium (give your answer to the nearest
arlik [135]

Answer:

24.32

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 24

Abundance (A%) = 78.70%

Isotope B

Mass of B = 25

Abundance (B%) = 10.13%

Isotope C:

Mass of C = 26

Abundance (C%) = 11.17%

Average atomic mass of Mg =..?

The average atomic mass of Mg can be obtained as illustrated below:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

Average atomic mass = [(24 × 78.70)/100] + [(25 × 10.13)/100] + [(26 × 11.17)/100]

= 18.888 + 2.5325 + 2.9042

= 24.3247 ≈ 24.32

Therefore, the average atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.32

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.
