A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.
Suppose the absorbance of a 0.084 M solution of nickel(II) nitrate in water is measured to be 0.305 in a cuvette with a
path length of 1.00 cm. If the solution is then diluted by a factor of 3, what do you expect the absorbance of the diluted
solution to be, when measured in the same 1.00-cm cuvette? Round your answer to the correct number of significant
