The relative volumes of chloroform and water that should be used is 9:10

Concentration of solution in chloroform = 90 ( moles of chloroform )

Concentration of solution in water = 10 ( moles of water )

Dissociation constant at 25^oC; K_D = 10

K_D = Concentration of solution in chloroform / Concentration of solution in water

Meaning;

K_D = \frac{\frac{mole\ of\ chloroform}{volume\ of\ chloroform} }{\frac{mole\ of\ water}{volume\ of\ water} }

Since 90 mole is present in chloroform and 10 mole is present in water, Total mole of Caffeine present is 100

Now, we substitute our given values into the equation

10 = \frac{\frac{90}{volume\ of\ chloroform} }{\frac{10}{volume\ of\ water} }\\\\10 *\frac{10}{volume\ of\ water} = \frac{90}{volume\ of\ chloroform}  \\\\\frac{100}{volume\ of\ water} = \frac{90}{volume\ of\ chloroform}\\\\\frac{volume\ of\ chloroform}{volume\ of\ water} = \frac{90}{100}\\\\ \frac{volume\ of\ chloroform}{volume\ of\ water} = \frac{9}{10}\\\\ \frac{volume\ of\ chloroform}{volume\ of\ water} = 9:10

Therefore, the relative volumes of chloroform and water that should be used is 9:10

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E0red = +0.13V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the
Ivan

Answer:

a. 1.23 V

b. No maximum

Explanation:

Required:

a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an

If E°cell must be at least 1.10 V (E°cell > 1.10 V),

E°red, cat - E°red, an > 1.10 V

E°red, cat - 0.13V > 1.10 V

E°red, cat > 1.23 V

The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.23 V while there is no maximum standard reduction potential.
