Answer: Non polar solvents

Explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.

It takes 495.0 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electron from an atom on the surface of sodium metal. How much energy does it ta

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons$

So,

$6.023\times 10^{23}$ electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of $\frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ$ of energy.

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ$

Also,

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J$

Also, $E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So,

$79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}$

$\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

HURRRYYY <br> in a chemical reaction you will always have an excess reactant. true or false?

just olya [345]

Answer:

It's False

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.

Hope this helps you

I think the most appropriate answer is: the solvent being used in the experiment
<span>To correct for any light absorption not originating from the solute you will need to calibrate the tools with a solution that most similar to the sample.
Blank covete or standard solution can be used, but it was not ideal. By using the solvent as calibration, you can remove the reading from the solvent so your result only comes from the sample.
