In the process of performing a spectrophotometric determination of iron, an analyst prepares a calibration curve using a single-beam spectrophotometer. After preparing the calibration curve, the analyst drops and breaks the cuvette. The analyst acquires a new cuvette, measures the absorbance of the sample, and determines the %w/w Fe in the sample. Does the change in cuvette lead to a determinate error in the analysis

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the change in cuvette lead to a determinate error in the analysis if the different cuvette is used for the analysis because the amount of liquid sample that is used has different volume. If both cuvette are of the same type and has no difference in their structure and size then there is error occurs in the analysis but if both cuvette are different from one another then the error will occur in the analysis. because the amount of liquid that is used has different volume.

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
