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

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 133.60°C and a boiling point elevation constant Kb= 2.46°C kg mol^-1.Calculate
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

136.63 °C

Explanation:

ΔTb=Tb solution - Tb pure

Where; Tb pure = 133.60°C

molar mass of solute = 121.14 g/mol

number of moles of solute; 52.2g/121.14 g/mol = 0.431 moles

molality = 0.431 moles/350 * 10^-3 = 1.23 molal

Then;

ΔTb = Kb * m * i

Kb = 2.46°C kg mol^-1

m = 1.23 molal

i = 1

ΔTb = 2.46 * 1.23 * 1

ΔTb = 3.03 °C

Hence;

Tb solution = ΔTb + Tb pure

Tb solution = 3.03 °C + 133.60°C

Tb solution = 136.63 °C
