The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.
Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T
Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer
Tm = 0.44
Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654
True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)
S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06
α= 1, ideal case
T = true transmittance of the sample
Tm = T+S(α-T)
now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233
therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)
i.e; 0.3933

Answer:
A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate.
Answer:
c The concentration(s) of reactant(s) is constant over time.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the reaction A ⇌ B reaches equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products are constant over time.
a is <em>wrong</em>, because the concentrations of reactants and products are usually quite different.
b is <em>wrong</em>, because both product and reactant molecules are being formed at equilibrium.
d is <em>wrong</em>. The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, but they are not zero.
