I believe it would be c: 3 because you can have the numbers -1,0,1.
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.
Answer:
Option E. Zirconium
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg
Name of the unknown metal =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Volume (V) of the cube =?
V = L³
V = 0.2³
V = 0.008 cm³
Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mg = 1 g
Therefore,
52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg
52 mg = 0.052 g
Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.
Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass = 0.052 g.
Volume = 0.008 cm³
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.052 / 0.008
Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³
Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium
