1.What percent of light passes through the sample if its absorbance A=2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago
3 0

1. The formula for absorbance is given as:

A = log (Io / I)

where A is absorbance, Io is initial intensity, and I is final light intensity

 

log (Io / I) = A

log (Io / I) = 2

Io / I = 100

 

Taking the reverse which is I / Io:

 

I / Io = 1 / 100

I / Io = 0.01

 

Therefore this means that only 0.01 fraction of light or 1% passes through the sample.

 

2. What is meant by transmittance values is actually the value of I / Io. So calculating for A:

 

at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

A = 1

 

at 90% transmittance = 0.90

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.90)

A = 0.046

 

So the absorbance should be from 0.046 to 1

 

3. at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

<span>A = 1</span>

You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH 4.00 buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (p K a = 4.20 ) and 0.200 M sodium benzoate
bekas [8.4K]

Answer : The volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Explanation :

Let the volume of sodium benzoate (salt) be, x

So, the volume of benzoic acid  (acid) will be, (100 - x)

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

4.00=4.20+\log \left(\frac{(\frac{0.200x}{100})}{(\frac{0.100(100-x)}{100})}\right)

x = 29.0

The volume of sodium benzoate = x = 29.0 mL

The volume of benzoic acid  (acid) = (100 - x) = (100 - 29.0) = 71 mL

Thus, the volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: Gas , Solid and Liquid

Explanation:

To complete each sentence , One can easily conclude that the various state of matter are in question here.

To further explain better,

(1) Gas molecule is consider to b moving and also move at a faster rate is respect to others.

(2)Solid molecule usual takes a standing still position unless an external pressure acts on it.

(3) Liquid molecule is capable of starting at same location and then move to another location but not at a faster rate compare to gas molecule.
