Answer:

(a)  128459 L/mol·cm      

(b)  5.11 x 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

This question was incomplete, it is missing the Excel plot and the line fit, please see  attached image of the question.

Crystal violet standard solutions were prepared and their absorbance at a certain wavelength was measured using a spectrophotometer. The path length was 1 cm. The data was plotted using Excel and a line was fit to the points (see below). A sample of unknown concentration was found to have an absorbance of 0.652 at the same wavelength. (a) What is the molar absorptivity of this compound at the certain wavelength? (b) What is the concentration of the unknown sample solution?

(a) This problem we calls for the use of Beer´s law:

A = εcl

where A is the absorbance, ε is the molar absorptivity, c the concentration, and l the path of the cuvette used.

This equation when plotted A vs c will give a straight line since A is a function of c

Thus we can determine ε by using the calibration curve in the Excel plot

y  = 128459 x - 0.0042

the slope of this equation is the molar absorptivity since the length is one, so :

ε = 128459 L/mol·cm      

For part (b)

A = 0.652 = 128459 L/mol·cm x  c  x  1 cm  - 0.0042

⇒ 0.652 +0.0042 = 128459 c = 5.11 x 10⁻⁶ M

In absorbance spectrophotometry it is necessary to work with very dilute solutions to avoid deviations characteristic of high concentrations. One can always dilute the unknown and knowing exactly the dilution factor one can trace back the value for the a more concentrated solution.

B. It will increase the rate

Explanation:

In this experiment, the rate of the reaction will increase with increase in temperature. Since enzymes are chemical catalysts that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions, one must know that a high temperature favors the rate of chemical reaction.

  • At a high temperature, the catalyst action of the enzyme will increase rapidly.
  • Caution must be taken because at extremely high temperatures, the enzymes can become denatured.

The mass of a block is 12 g and the volume is 6 ml. Calculate the density of the block.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

According to mass and volume,  block density is 2 g/ml

Explanation:

Density is a measure, usually used in physics and chemistry, that relates the mass and volume of a solid or compound.

In general terms, the density is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the volume, so increasing the mass will also increase the density.

The formula used to calculate the density is

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

Therefore, according to the mass and density of the block

ρ = \frac{12}{6} = 2g/ml

Being the density of the block equal to 2 g/ml.

<em>The other options are not possible, because the values given do not correspond to the result of the equation.</em>

Oxygen decays to form nitrogen.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11O to 26O have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15O with a half-life of 122.24 seconds, while the shortest-lived isotope is 12O with a half-life of 580(30)×10−24 seconds (the half-life of the unbound 11O is still unknown).
