The purpose of using distilled water in the cuvette of the spectrophotometer is to calibrate the instrument. It is generally considered that distilled water shows zero absorbance and 100 % transmittance. So, to zero out the absorbance of compounds other than the analyte being determined, distilled water is used as a blank.
If the unknown being determined is prepared using ethanol as the base solution, the blank used must be ethanol. This is because absorbance if any from the solvent, ethanol must be zeroed out as when the measurement of the actual unknown is being made, the absorbance of the solvent does not interfere.
Answer:
A decrease in [H3O+] and an increase in pH (option a)
Explanation:
Equilibrium of water is shown in this equation
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
When you add NaOH, you are modifying [OH⁻]
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
In equilibrium of water, the [OH⁻] increases
2H₂O ⇄ ↓ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ ↑
As the [OH⁻] increases, by Le Chatellier, the equilibrium tends to decrease [H₃O⁺].
If the [OH⁻] is higher, pH is also high so the solution of water and sodium hydroxide would be totally basic.
Answer:
A C and D hope this helps
Explanation:
Answer:
Whats that supposed to mean?
whats the question
Explanation:
Equation: MgOH2 (s) --> MgO (s) + H2O (g)
And it's already balanced.
I had chemistry this semester too.
