1.What percent of light passes through the sample if its absorbance A=2?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

1. The formula for absorbance is given as:

A = log (Io / I)

where A is absorbance, Io is initial intensity, and I is final light intensity

 

log (Io / I) = A

log (Io / I) = 2

Io / I = 100

 

Taking the reverse which is I / Io:

 

I / Io = 1 / 100

I / Io = 0.01

 

Therefore this means that only 0.01 fraction of light or 1% passes through the sample.

 

2. What is meant by transmittance values is actually the value of I / Io. So calculating for A:

 

at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

A = 1

 

at 90% transmittance = 0.90

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.90)

A = 0.046

 

So the absorbance should be from 0.046 to 1

 

3. at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

<span>A = 1</span>

For the reaction 5 o2(g) + 4 nh3(g)  4 no(g) + 6 h2o(g) if nh3 is being consumed at a rate of 0.50 m•s –1 , at what rate is h2o
Anika [276]
<span>In the given chemical equation, 4 moles of nh3 gas react with 5 moles of oxygen to form 6moles of water vapours (h2o). Hence each mole of nh3 contributes to production of 1.5 moles of water vapours. therefore, the rate of formation of h2o is 1.5*0.5 ms-1, i.e 0.75 moles/sec</span>

Calculate the pressure exerted by an book of mass 20kg occupying an area of 2 m square.​
kotykmax [81]

The answer is 100 Pa.

The formula for calculating pressure is :

<u>Pressure = Force ÷ Area</u>

<u />

We are given that :

  • mass = 20 kg
  • area = 2 m²

We also know that :

<u>Force = mass ×g</u>

<u />

So, force will be :

  • F = 20 × 10
  • F = 200 N

Now, we can finally calculate pressure :

  • P = 200 ÷ 2
  • P = 100 Pa
