Why sulphur has two melting point values

1 answer:

8 0

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.

A 3.96x10^-24 M solution of compound A exhibited an absorbance of 0.624 at 238 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet; a blank solution containi

viktelen [127]

Actual question from source:-

A 3.96x10-4 M solution of compound A exhibited an absorbance of 0.624 at 238 nm in a 1.000 cm cuvette. A blank had an absorbance of 0.029. The absorbance of an unknown solution of compound A was 0.375. Find the concentration of A in the unknown.

Answer:

Molar absorptivity of compound A = $1502.53\ {Ms}^{-1}$

Explanation:

According to the Lambert's Beer law:-

$A=\epsilon l c$

Where, A is the absorbance

l is the path length

$\epsilon$ is the molar absorptivity

c is the concentration.

Given that:-

c = $3.96\times 10^{-4}\ M$

Path length = 1.000 cm

Absorbance observed = 0.624

Absorbance blank = 0.029

A = 0.624 - 0.029 = 0.595

So, applying the values in the Lambert Beer's law as shown below:-

$0.595=\epsilon\times 1.000\ cm\times 3.96\times 10^{-4}\ M$

$\epsilon=\frac{0.595}{3.96\times 10^{-4}}\ {Ms}^{-1}=1502.53\ {Ms}^{-1}$

<u>Molar absorptivity of compound A = $1502.53\ {Ms}^{-1}$ </u>

In which layer of the atmosphere is the ozone layer?

Natali5045456 [20]

Ozone is mainly found in two regions of the Earth's atmosphere. Most ozone (about 90%) resides in a layer that begins between 6 and 10 miles (10 and 17 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 30 miles (50 kilometers). This region of the atmosphere is called thestratosphere.
