The purpose of using distilled water in the cuvette of the spectrophotometer is to calibrate the instrument. It is generally considered that distilled water shows zero absorbance and 100 % transmittance. So, to zero out the absorbance of compounds other than the analyte being determined, distilled water is used as a blank.
If the unknown being determined is prepared using ethanol as the base solution, the blank used must be ethanol. This is because absorbance if any from the solvent, ethanol must be zeroed out as when the measurement of the actual unknown is being made, the absorbance of the solvent does not interfere.
Red is the answer in the blank
The volume of N₂ at STP=56 L
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
2.5 moles of N₂
Required
The volume of the gas
Solution
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume-Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.
So for 2.5 moles gas :
