Chapter 19, Problem 19.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Single and double beam spectrophotometers have to be distinguished and manner they measure transmittance has to be explained along with sources of error.

Concept Introduction:

Various components of spectrophotometer include light source that is usually tungsten or a deuterium lamp enables absorption of light by sample. Then a monochromator that essentially selects one particular wavelength and allows it to pass across sample cuvette, beam chopper splits incident light beam path amongst reference cell and sample cell; analyte within sample absorbs light. And a reference solution has same solvent that is found in analyte sample cuvette, the detector transforms photons into specific electrical response that is further enhanced by amplifier and data is displayed.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Single beam spectrophotometer has a separate mount for blank cuvette before the test run.

In double beam spectrophotometer, blank solution or reference solvent can be mounted along with test sample in a separate cuvette. In this spectrophotometer, the monochromatic light is allowed to alternatively pass across each cuvette and this reduces the time and effort required to perform the measurements unlike the single beam spectrophotometer.

Sources of error are minimized since light acts as constant source for each measurement unlike detector response drift error that leads to sources of error in single beam spectrophotometer.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T G OH де OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
