The naphthalene molecule has a structure that corre-sponds to two benzene molecules fused together:The ™ electrons in this molecule are delocalized over theentire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorptionin benzene is 255 nm. Will the corresponding wavelengthin naphthalene be shorter or longer than 255 nm?

It is a term used in chemistry which means that the electron which is delocalized is not associated…

Answered: The naphthalene molecule has a…

A student uses visible spectrophotometry to determine the concentration of CoCl2(aq)CoCl2(aq) in a sample solution. First the student prepares a set of CoCl2(aq)CoCl2(aq) solutions of known concentration. Then the student uses a spectrophotometer to determine the absorbance of each of the standard solutions at a wavelength of 510nm510nm and constructs a standard curve. Finally, the student determines the absorbance of the sample of unknown concentration. The original solution used to make the solutions for the standard curve was prepared by dissolving 2.60g2.60g of CoCl2CoCl2 (molar mass 130.g/mol130.g/mol) in enough water to make 100.mL100.mL of solution.
