Answer:

The percentage deviation is  \Delta M = 1.87%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The concentration is of the solution is C = 1.0*10^{-5} M

     The true absorbance A = 0.7526

      The percentage of transmittance due to stray light z = 0.56% =\frac{0.56}{100}  = 0.0056

Generally Absorbance is mathematically represented as

           A = -log T

Where T is  the percentage of true transmittance

    Substituting value  

          0.7526 = - log T

              T = 10^{-0.7526}

                  = 0.177

                  = 17.7%

The Apparent absorbance is mathematically represented

           A_p = -log (T +z)

Substituting values

           A_p = -log(0.177 + 0.0056)

                = -log(0.1826)

               = 0.7385

The percentage by which apparent absorbance deviates from known absorbance is mathematically evaluated as

       \Delta A = \frac{A -A_p}{A} * \frac{100}{1}

              = \frac{0.7526 - 0.7385}{0.7526} * \frac{100}{1}

             \Delta A = 1.87%  

Since Absorbance varies directly with concentration the percentage deviation of the apparent concentration from know concentration  is

              \Delta M = 1.87%

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.
