Name 2 separate problems that occur when a sample for infrared analysis is contaminated with water.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

  • The water molecules gets trapped in the crystal structure to be analysed and will give a peak in the spectra at about 3500 /cm , and there by hindering with the IR spectra of the sample to be analysed .
  • The second problem with the contamination of the sample with water is , that water makes the potassium bromide disc opaque which will decrease the absorption of the IR by the sample .

How many molecules of water are there in 0.234 L of water
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

7.82x10^24 molecules of water

Explanation:

H2O=18.015 g/mol   Avogadro's #=6.022x10^23 molecules

0.234L x 1000g/1L x 1 mol H2O/18.015 g x 6.022x10^23 = 7.82x10^23 molecules of water

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 4.70×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.700 M, what will the
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

Explanation:

The unit of k is s⁻¹.

The order of the reaction = first order.

First order reaction: A first order reaction is  a reaction in which the rate of reaction depends only the value of the concentration of the reactant.

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

[A] = the concentration of the reactant at time t

k= rate constant

t= time

Here k= 4.70×10⁻³ s⁻¹

t= 4.00

[A₀] = initial concentration of reactant = 0.700 M

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

\Rightarrow -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=kdt

Integrating both sides

\Rightarrow\int -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=\int kdt

⇒ -ln[A] = kt +c

When t=0 , [A] =[A₀]

-ln[A₀]  = k.0 + c

⇒c= -ln[A₀]  

Therefore

-ln[A] = kt - ln[A₀]

Putting the value of k, [A₀] and t

- ln[A] =4.70×10⁻³×4 -ln (0.70)

⇒-ln[A]=  0.375

⇒[A] = 0.686

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

What is the difference between diffusion and osmoses<br><br>​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Diffusion means that particles travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration region before balance is achieved. The semi-permeable membrane is present in osmosis, so that only solvent molecules can travel freely to equalize the levels.

Consider the equation below. Upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 (s) double-headed arrow upper C a upper O (s) plus upper C up
stiks02 [169]

Answer:K subscript e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C upper O subscript 2 EndBracket StartBracket upper C a upper O EndBracket over StartBracket upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 EndBracket EndFraction

Explanation: the answer has it's root in Law of mass action which states that; the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.

How much thermal energy is in 100 grams of water at 50 degrees Celsius
Ymorist [56]
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.  

and when the thermal energy  is can be determined by this formula:

q = M * C *ΔT

when q  is the thermal energy

and M is the mass of water = 100 g 

and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C

and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C

So by substitution:

∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50

   = 20900 J  = 20.9 KJ
