<span>3.10 moles SiO2 (1 mole Si/1 mole SiO2)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole Si) = 1.87 X 1024
</span><span>= 1.20 X 1023 atoms of oxygen.</span>
I think the most appropriate answer is: the solvent being used in the experiment
<span>To correct for any light absorption not originating from the solute you will need to calibrate the tools with a solution that most similar to the sample.
Blank covete or standard solution can be used, but it was not ideal. By using the solvent as calibration, you can remove the reading from the solvent so your result only comes from the sample.

Water
hydrogen ions+hydroxide=water
which can be verified by dark reaction of photosynthesis
