What is the reason for analyzing a blank in the spectrophotometer before analyzing the standard solution? A. any absorbance of light by the solvent AND the cuvette needs to be accounted for B. any absorbance of light by the cuvetto needs to be accounted for C. so the scattered light is filtered before reaching the photodiode D. to account for any fingerprints on the cuvette E. any absorbance of light by the cuvette and fingerprints needs to be accounted for

A.  any absorbance of light by the solvent AND the cuvette needs to be accounted for

Explanation:

Blank calibrations are usually carried out on the spectrometer to eliminate and account for any readings that would come from absorptions of the curvette, solvents/reagents or anything that is not the main analyte we are testing for.

Hence the blank solution does not contain the analyte itself. Fingerprints should be removed from the curvette as practice. Hence the most suitable answer amongst the options is A.

I hope this was clear ad most of all, helpful.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
