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.

You measure the emission spectrum of an atom that you suspect to be hydrogen. You have no absolute calibration of the wavelength
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

What we need to do here is to determine the ratios by using  the Rydberg equation starting with the transition to n1 = 1, 2,3, etc and see which one fits the data. Remember the question states that they are series and the wavelengths will be for increasing  energy levels.

1/λ = Rh x ( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂²)

Lyman series  ( n₁=1 and n₂= 2,3 etc)  for the first two lines, the ratios will be:

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂  =(1/1 -1/ 2²) / (1/1 -1/ 3²) ⇒ 0.84 ≠ 0.74  (the first ratio)

For Balmer series n₁ = 2  and n₂ = 3,4,5, etc

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂  =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/4²) ⇒ 0.741 = 0.741 (match!)

Lets use the third line to check our answer:

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂  =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/5²) = 0.66

Two colleagues are measuring the melting point of a substance. They observe two ranges of melting point, at 134-137 °C and 132-1
marissa [1.9K]

Explanation:

impurities affect both melting point and boiling point

in the case of melting point it lowers the melting point

so I guess one of the samples Ie contained impurities
