What subscripts are needed to complete the formula unit Li_N_?
1 answer:
In this problem we need to obtain a molecule with a neutral charge that also satisfies the noble gas configuration. Lithium (Li) is a group 1 metal so it needs to lose an electron to achieve noble gas configuration. The loss of an electron will give it a (+1) charge. In contrast, Nitrogen (N) is a group 5 element and needs to gain 3 electrons to achieve noble gas, hence it has a charge of (-3) charge. A neutral molecule has the sum of oxidation states of all atoms equal to zero. Hence 3 molecules of lithium and 1 molecule of nitrogen give a neutral molecule.
Therefore 3,1 is the correct answer,

Answer:
For the control experiment: of aqueous solution of erioglaucine has absorbance of
From Lambert-Beer's law we know:
Here; e is the molar absorptivity coefficient of erioglaucine
l = length of cuvette in which the solution is taken =
A sorbance by the erioglaucine = total absorbance - absorbance by distilled
So; by putting the values in the above equation; we get:
So;
The molar absorptivity coefficient of erioglaucine is
The absorbance of erioglaucine in distilled water (contaminated with metal ions) is:
The absorbance of distilled water is
So; absorbance of erioglaucine itself is :
Again using Lambert Beer law; we get:
c = 0.198/5.65 M = 0.035 M
The concentration of the erioglaucine is
