The student plans to conduct a spectrophotometric analysis to determine the concentration of Cu2+(aq) in a solution. The solutio

n has a small amount of Co(NO3)2 (aq) present as a contaminant. The student is given a diagram below, which shows the absorbance curves for aqueous solutions of Co2+ (aq) and Cu2+ (aq)
c. The spectrophotometer available to the student has a wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm. What wavelength should the student use to minimize the interference from the presence of the Co2+ (aq)?

Answer:

The wavelength the student should use is 700 nm.

Explanation:

Attached below you can find the diagram I found for this question elsewhere.

Because the idea is to minimize the interference of the Co⁺²(aq) species, we should <u>choose a wavelength in which its absorbance is minimum</u>.

At 400 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance, however neither does Cu⁺²(aq). While at 700 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance and Cu⁺²(aq) does.

Explain the part that the subduction zones play in the cycling of matter between Earth’s crust and mantle.
WARRIOR [948]

Explanation:

The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

<p><strong>Fig 7.15.</strong> Diagram of the motion of plates</p>

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)

Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)

Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (Fig. 7.15)

The rise of the Himalayan Mountain range is due to an ongoing collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. Earthquakes in California are due to transform fault motion.

Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth’s mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. An example of convection current is shown in Fig. 7.16. Inside a beaker, hot water rises at the point where heat is applied. The hot water moves to the surface, then spreads out and cools. Cooler water sinks to the bottom.

<p><strong>Fig. 7.16.</strong> In this diagram of convection currents in a beaker of liquid, the red arrows represent liquid that is heated by the flame and rises to the surface. At the surface, the liquid cools, and sinks back down (blue arrows).</p><br />

Earth’s solid crust acts as a heat insulator for the hot interior of the planet. Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth’s crust.

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 28.7 moles of FeO. Y
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of FeO = 28.7 mol

Moles of Al needed to react with FeO = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al with FeO.

                            FeO        :           Al

                             2            :            3

                          28.7          :         3/2×28.7 = 43.05 mol

Thus 43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.
