Chapter 2, Problem 2.2QAP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The voltage V2 should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When resistors are in series, a voltage divider. V = V1 + V2 + V3

The current in a series circuit is everywhere the same. In other words, I = I1 = I2 = I3

The total resistance Rs of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances of the individual components. Rs = R1 + R2 + R3

Ohm’s law;

Ohm’s law describes the relationship among voltage, resistance, and current in a resistive series circuit.

V = IR

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The power loss in resistor R2 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

When resistors are in series, a voltage divider. V = V1 + V2 + V3

The current in a series circuit is everywhere the same. In other words, I = I1 = I2 = I3

Ohm’s law;

Ohm’s law describes the relationship among voltage, resistance, and current in a resistive series circuit.

V = IR

V = Voltage I = Current R = resistant

Power rule;

P = V I

P = Power V = voltage I = Current

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…
