If you are trying to pipet an unknown liquid with a pipetman and the liquid keeps running out of the tip before you can transfer

it, what are two possible reasons for this? What can you do to remedy the situation?

Answer:

This is due to the physical properties of the sample, since it affects the volume dispensed.

Explanation:

For example, in the case of very dense samples, selected samples to adhere to the surface of the tip, dispensing more slowly. In contrast, ethanol samples are less viscous and more volatile and are dispensed more rapidly. Some of the ways to minimize these inconveniences are the use of ultra low retention pipette tips, since they have a hydrophobic plastic additive that prevents the liquid from adhering to the inside of the tip.

Another way is to use the reverse pipetting.

What's the difference between a conductor and an insulator?<br><br>I'll mark you as brainliest ​
irina [24]

conductor are defined as the materials or substances that allow electricity to flow through them. Also, conductors allow heat to be transmitted through them. Examples of conductors are metals, the human body, Earth and animals. The human body is a strong conductor.

Any material that keeps energy such as electricity, heat, or cold from easily transferring through is an insulator. Wood, plastic, rubber, and glass are good <em><u>insulator</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

What is the concentration (in M) of a sample of the unknown dye with an absorbance of 0.25 at 542 nm?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Question is incomplete, so in picture 1, you have a sample of this question with the missing data.

Now, in general terms, the absorbance of a substance can be calculated using the beer's law which is the following:

A = εlc

Where:

ε: molar absortivity

l: distance of the light in solution

c: concentration of solution

However, in this case, we have a plot line and a equation for this plot, so all we have to do is replace the given data into the equation and solve for x, which is the concentration.

the equation according to the plot is:

A = 15200c - 0.018

So solving for C for an absorbance of 0.25 is:

0.25 = 15200c - 0.018

0.25 + 0.018 = 15200c

0.268 = 15200c

c = 0.268/15200

c = 1.76x10⁻⁵ M
