Absorbance is unitless by definition, this is the fraction of light absorbed.
Solute concentration will have mol/L units, so it is not unitless.
i/i0 (ratio of emergent to incident intensity) is similar to absorbance, and the units will cancel out, making this unitless.
Path length will have a unit in millimeters or centimeters, so it is not unitless.
Therefore the unitless quantitites are absorbance and intensity ratio.
The correct answer is:
neutrality
on the pH scale 7 is neutral above 7 is basic and below 7 is acidic.
Explanation:
The pH is an example of how acidic/basic water is. The scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral, pH of less than 7 designates acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 intimates a base. pH is really a pattern of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is.
It is neutral because, at this pH, the molar concentrations of Hydroxide and Hydronium are same, therefore the substance is not a base nor an acid.
Answer : The pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86
Explanation : Given,
Concentration of acid = 0.1 M
Concentration of conjugate base (salt) = 0.1 M
Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
Therefore, the pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86
I think its because its more accurate because it shows you the numbers rather than you reading the approximate temperature on a liquid thermometer
