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

An interplanetary probe returns to Earth with soil samples. The atoms in the sample are sorted by their number of protons. A new
Leya [2.2K]

Answer is: the average atomic mass is 232.

ω₁ = 20% ÷ 100%.

ω₁ = 0.20.

ω₂ = 80% ÷ 100%.

ω₂ = 0.80.

Ar₁ = 120 (number of protons) + 120 (number of neutrons).

Ar₁ = 240.

Ar₂ = 120 + 110 .

Ar₂ = 230.

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  

Ar₁ · ω₁ + Ar₂ · ω₂.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  240 · 0.2 + 230 · 0.8.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 48 + 184.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 232.

If the starting volume of a hot air balloon is 55,500 m3and the initial temperature is 21 °C, what is the temperature inside the
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 392 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of the hot air balloon, V₁ = 55500 m³

Initial temperature, T₁ = 21°C = 294 K

Final volume, V₂ = 74000 m³

We need to find the final temperature inside the balloon. The relation between the temperature and volume is given by charles law i.e.

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

Where

T₂ is the final temperature

So,

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{T_1V_2}{V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{294\times 74000 }{55500 }\\\\T_2=392\ K

So, the new temperature is 392 K.
