A drinking water supply is suspected of being contaminated with lead. Samples of water aspirated directly into an air-acetylene

flame gave an absorbance of 0.68 at 283.3nm. Standard solutions containing 0.5 and 1.0 ppm were found to exhibit absorbances of 0.43 and 0.86 respectively. Assuming the Beer-Lambert law is obeyed calculate the concentration of lead within the water sample. A. 79. Oppm B. 0.79ppm C. 0.43ppm D. 0.96ppm E. 0.92ppm noeullib noilgoeps noods Whaooah

Answer:

B. 0.79ppm

Explanation:

According to the Beer-Lambert law, there is a linear relationship between the absorbance (A) of an analyte and its concentration (c). We can represent it through the following expression.

A = k . c

where

k is a proportionality constant, and the slope of the equation.

Let's consider the ordered-pairs (0.5 ppm, 0.43) and (1.0 ppm, 0.86). The slope is:

k = ΔA / Δc = 0.86 - 0.43 / 1.0 ppm - 0.5 ppm = 0.86 ppm⁻¹

When A = 0.68

0.68 = 0.86 ppm⁻¹ c

c = 0.79 ppm

When an isotope emits an alpha particle, its atomic number
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The atomic number of the isotope is reduced by 2 and atomic mass is reduced by 4.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is doubly ionized helium atom. The atomic mass of helium atom is 4 u and atomic number of helium atom is 2. The emission of alpha particle means doubly ionized helium atom will be released from the isotope.

Hence, the emission of the alpha particle will decrease the atomic mass by 4 and atomic number by 2.

Hence, option(a) is correct

Which property is the same for a 50 mL sample of liquid water and a 100 mL sample of liquid water?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The density because it stays the same with any same liquids or solids or gas with whatever amount of it is added. It only changes if the matter of state is different or there is any environmental change.

If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.5 x 10^18 Hz, what is its wavelength? The speed of light is 3 x 108 m/s.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Wavelength, λ  = 6.7 x 10^-11 m

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

In this problem;

f =  4.5 x 10^18 Hz

wavelength, λ = ?

Speed of light, c = 3 x 108 m/s.

These variables are related by the following equation;

c = λ * f

Making λ subject of focus, we have;

λ = c / f

λ = 3 x 10^8 / 4.5 x 10^18

λ  = 0.67 x 10^-10

λ  = 6.7 x 10^-11 m
