Suppose that a student collects the following spectrophotometric data to determine the relative concentrations of HMR and MR in solution: The abosorbance at 425 nm was measured to be 0.170 and at 520 nm was 0.690, the slopes corresponding to standard Beer's Law plots were as follows:
αIA = 0.072
αIB = 0.306
αIIA = 0.760
αIIB = 0.036
Using this data, calculate the ratio between the relative concentrations of MR- and HMR in this solution.

There is a total of 6 trials for an experiment involving the measurement of standard enthalpies (kcal/mol).
a) If additional data points are taken but the standard deviation and mean remain unchanged, what will happen to the 95% confidence interval? Would it increase, decrease, or stay the same?
b) What are the different ways to identify a systematic error in her data for this experiment ?

The final volume of buffer solution must be 100.00 mL and the final concentration of the weak acid must be 0.100 M.
Based on this information, what mass of solid conjugate base should the student weigh out to make the buffer solution with a pH=7.0 (in grams)? Based on this information, what volume of acid should the student measure to make the 0.100 M buffer solution (in mL)?
My weak acid is Sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, Ka= 6.23X10^-8, 2.00M and my conjugate base is Disodium hydrogen phosphate heptahydrate, Na2HPO4*7H2O

. The four substances HCl, I2, HI, and Cl2, are mixed in a reaction vessel and allowed to reach equilibrium in the reaction: 2 HCl (g) + I2 (s) ⇌ 2 HI (g) + Cl2 (g) Certain changes (specified in the first column in the following table) are then made to this mixture. Considering each change separately, state the effect (increase, decrease, no change) that the change has on the original equilibrium value of the quantity in the second column (or K, if that is specified). The temperature and volume are constant. Change Quantity Effect add HCl amount of HI add I2 amount of Cl2 remove HI amount of Cl2 remove Cl2 amount of HCl add HCl K remove HCl amount of I2 add I2 K
