It would not be correct to blank the spectrophotometer with deionized water because deionized water does not contain any solutes that would contribute to the absorbance reading. The purpose of blanking the spectrophotometer is to zero the instrument by measuring the absorbance of a solution that only contains the solvent used in the sample. Using deionized water would not effectively remove any background interference from the sample, leading to inaccurate results. It is recommended to use a blank solution that closely matches the solvent and conditions of the sample being measured.

You calibrated the spectrophotometer with what?

Most likely a blank solution (water or buffer).


Is deionized water an element?

The deionized water is not an element, but it is a very pure water, without ions in solution.


Is distilled water the same as deionized water?

No, distilled water and deionized water are not the same. Distilled water is created by boiling water and collecting the steam, while deionized water is purified by removing ions and minerals.


What is the resistivity of deionized water?

The resistivity of deionized water is typically around 18.2 megaohm-cm.


What is blank in spectrophotometer?

A blank is used in order to cancel out or zero the absorbance of all the other components in the sample except the component whose absorbance is to be measured. For example, if you want to measure the absorbance of a solute in water, you will use only water as a blank and the spectrophotometer will subtract the absorbance of water from the spectrum when you measure the absorbance of your solute in water.


Is deionized water a mixture?

No, deionized water is not a mixture. It is a type of water that has had its ions (charged particles) removed through a process called deionization, resulting in a more pure form of water with a neutral pH.


What is the function of deionized water in determination of ash content?

Ash content is determined by calcination and deionized water is not necessary.


Can brass fittings be used with deionized water?

Yes, brass fittings can generally be used with deionized water. However, prolonged exposure to deionized water can cause corrosion in brass fittings, so it is advisable to check with the manufacturer or consider using alternative materials for long-term use with deionized water.


Why is deionized water weakly acidic?

The ion-exchange resins that are used to remove certain ions from the water to make it deionized sometimes leave a higher concentration of protons in the water, which makes it slighty acidic.


Can deionized water work?

Yes.


When glucose mix with dis-odium hydrogen phosphate with deionized water what happen?

When glucose is mixed with dis-odium hydrogen phosphate with deionized water, there will be a chemical reaction. The deionized water acts as a catalyst to create the foaming that will occur.


What color does universal indicator turn in deionized water?

since water is pretty neutral, the water does not change color but the universal indicator does. The universal indicator changes color as per the quantity of deionized water... But it changes to straw color or pale yellow in 50mL of deionized water.
