There should be 2 since there’s 2 D atoms in the reaction.
Two isotopes of the same element will have the same ATOMIC NUMBER but a different MASS NUMBER.
The full decimal is 2.59328...
When you round up the answer is 2.6 atoms of Li
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.
The percent concentration of a solution can be calculated from; mass of solute /mass of solution * 100. The mass of the solute here is 8.1 g.
<h3>What is concentration?</h3>
The term concentration refers to the amount of solute presnt in a solution. There are many ways of expressing concentration such as molarity, molality and percentage.
Here;
mass of solution = 230.5 g
Percent of solute = 3.5 %
3.5 = x/ 230.5 * 100
3.5 = 100x/230.5
230.5(3.5) = 100x
x = 230.5(3.5) /100
x = 8.1 g
