Thus mass of dye A = 10.24 mg/L

Plot Beer-Lambert law

Beer-Lambert law states that absorbance of an analye (here, dye A) is directly proportional to its concentration (C) and pathlength (l) of the solution

i.e. A \propto  C*l

or A = \epsilonCl

where \epsilon = proportionality constant and is called absorptivity coefficient. It is characteristic for an analyte at a given wavelength, unit = M-1cm-1

Thus above equation can be compared with a straight line equation as y = mx+c

where y = absorbance, x = concentration and \epsilon = slope, c = intercept = 0 for absorbance vs concentration plot.

b. Calculate the slope (m) of graph:

for absorbance vs concentration plot.

The given data was plotted and fitted to a liner fit that gave the equation as:

y = 27335 x

slope of the line = 27335

thus \epsilon = 27335 M-1cm-1

c. Concnetration using Beer-Lambert plot:

Absorbance of dye A in Sports drink, A = 0.700

point absorbance of 0.007 on y-axis and interpolate to the linear fit. Check the corresponding value at x-axis as follows:

the corresponding line meets x-axis at 0.00002 + 4-squares

In the graph drawn, 7 squares in x-axis = 0.00001

thus 4 squares on x-axis = 0.00001*4/7 = 5.71*10-6

thus for y = 0.700 the corresponding x-axis reads = 0.00002+5.71*10-6

or C = 2.57*10-5 M

d. Concnetration of dye A using slope of fitted line:

Absorbance of dye A in Sports drink, A = 0.700

substituting the absorbance in the linear fit equation we can calulate the concentration as:

0.700 = 27335*C

C = 0.700/27335

C = 2.56*10-5 M

e. Mass of dye A in mg/L

Molar mass of dye = 400 g/mol

Concentration (molarity) of dye A = 2.56*10-5 M

1 M = number of moles of solute present in 1 L of solution volume

number of moles = mass / molar mass

\therefore  Molarity = mass of solute/(molar mass of solute*volume of solution)

for solution volume = 1L

Molarity = mass of solute/molar mass of solute

rearranging this we get:

mass of solute = (Molarity*molar mass of solute) g/L

mass of dye A = 2.56*10-5* 400 g/L

m = 0.01024 g/L

1 g = 1000 mg

Thus mass of dye A = 10.24 mg/L

The difference between drying the organic layer and solvent evaporation is explained below.

When an organic component is extracted, there is always the possibility of traces of water or moisture remaining in the organic layer. To eliminate water from the organic layer, the organic layer is frequently treated with sodium sulfate, a process known as drying the organic layer. The organic layer is concentrated once it has been freed of water by evaporating the organic solvent. There is always some water remaining in the organic layer after aqueous extractions. Adding anhydrous sodium sulfate for drying the organic layer, eliminates this water by creating sodium sulfate hydrate, which is likewise a solid and so easily filtered away.

Solvent evaporation is the process of emulsifying polymer in aqueous phase and dispersing it in a volatile solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform, or ethyl acetate. The solvent is then evaporated using high heat, vacuum, or continuous stirring. By placing the solution in an open container, solvent evaporation occurs (an Erlenmeyer, evaporating dish, beaker, vial). The solvent is boiled out by placing the container on a heat source (steam bath, hot plate, heating mantle, sand bath).

Atoms are the minuscule, indivisible building blocks of all stuff.

A certain element's atoms are all the same mass, size, and other characteristics. Nevertheless, the characteristics and mass of atoms from various elements varies.

Atoms are eternal and cannot be generated or destroyed. Atoms also can not be separated into smaller particles.

Compounds can be created by combining atoms of various elements in specific whole-number ratios.

In chemical reactions, atoms can be joined, separated, or rearranged.

When a compound's qualities cannot be fully explained by a single structure, we require more structures. These additional structures are known as resonance structures, and the phenomenon they describe is known as resonance.

Resonance is the term used to describe the phenomena of enhanced amplitude that happens when the frequency of a periodic force is applied (or a Fourier component of it) is equal to or nearly equal to the natural frequency of the system on which it works. In contrast to when the same oscillating force is applied at other, non-resonant frequencies, a dynamic system will oscillate at a higher amplitude when the oscillating force is applied at its resonant frequency.

Resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies of the system are frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum. Small periodic forces that are close to a resonant frequency of the system can produce large amplitude oscillations in the system due to the storage of vibrational energy.

The idea of combining two atomic orbitals to create a new class of hybridized orbitals is known as hybridization in chemistry. This mixing typically produces hybrid orbitals with completely distinct energies, geometries, etc. Hybridization primarily involves atomic orbitals at the same energy level. However, if an orbital has equivalent energy, it can participate in this process, as can an orbital that is partially filled.

On the other side, we may claim that the idea of hybridization is an expansion of the valence bond theory and that it aids in our understanding of how bonds are formed, how they are energetically, and how long they are.

Boyle’s law is supported by the following options - (a) product of pressure and volume is constant, (c) decrease in volume leads to increase in pressure, and (d) decrease in pressure leads to increase in volume.

Boyle's law, an experimental gas law, states that as a container's capacity rises, a gas's pressure tends to drop.

According to Boyle's law, in a closed system with constant temperature and gas volume, the absolute pressure a given mass of an ideal gas exerts is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies.

According to this, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts at a given temperature. In other words, a gas will condense to fit into an enclosed area when it is poured into it, but the pressure it exerts on the container will rise.

Sedimentation is the tendency for the particles to settle out of the fluid content. Then they come to rest against a specific barrier due to their own motion which is in the response to all the forces that are acting on them.

Sedimentation can be described as the opposite process of erosion which is the terminal end where the sediment is transported. Sedimentation allows the particles with different densities which are in the suspended form in water to settle under the gravitational force.

The settled particles from the suspension become sediment, while water treatment is called sludge. When this thick sediment continues to settle, which is assisted by mechanical means is called the process of thickening.

At the equivalence point, the volume of base added is just enough to exactly neutralize all the acid.

At one half of this volume of added base, called the half equivalence point, enough has been added to neutralize half of the acid. Since, half of the acid reacted to form A-, the concentration of A- and HA-, at the half equivalence point are the same.

Quartz is an igneous rock made up of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous structure called silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (SiO4). The ultimate chemical formula of quartz is SiO2, which is recognized in science as the result of the sharing of each oxygen atom between two tetrahedra atoms.
