In a hurry to complete the experiment, Joseph failed to calibrate the spectrophotometer. As a result, all absorbance values for

the standard solutions that are measured and recorded are too high. How will this affect the following for the Test Solutions?

\boxed{{\text{Incorrect results}}} will be observed for test solutions if calibration of spectrophotometer is not done.

Further explanation:

Spectrophotometry

It is a technique that is used to measure the absorbance of light as a measure of the intensity of light when light passes through the sample of the solution. The optical instrument used for such purpose is a spectrophotometer.

Lambert-Beer’s Law

This law relates to the absorbance of the species to its concentration and the optical path length through the sample. The mathematical expression for Lambert-Beer’s law is,

\boxed{A = \varepsilon lc}  

Here,

A is the absorbance of the species.

\varepsilon is the molar absorptivity of the species.

<em>l</em> is the optical path length.

<em>c</em> is the concentration of species.

While using a spectrophotometer, calibration is an essential step in determining the absorbance of the sample. This done by using a blank solution (standard solution) and taking its absorbance value as a reference for other solutions. But if the equipment is not calibrated before measuring the absorbance for other solutions, the results will be incorrect.

In the given experiment, the absorbance values of standard solutions are recorded very high. This will lead to incorrect values of absorbance for test solutions. This is because the absorbance of the standard solution is to be used as a reference for the test solutions.

Joseph will not get the correct results for his samples. The spectophotometer will measure wrong absorbance values for the sample. It is highly advised to callibrate the instrument by first setting the absorbance of the solvent to zero. After it is done, only then one must determine the absorbance of the test solutions.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=13.90

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}  

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}

 When the solubility of Mg_3(PO_4)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Mg^{2+} will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of PO_4^{3-} will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or \frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L

K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2

K_{sp}=108S^5

K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90

The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) ⇒ 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

(c) Determine the final temperature of the air in the room after the combustion.

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 =  5.56 ×10⁴  × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴  × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ =  ΔT +  T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C
