Why do you use a reagent blank and not just distilled water to zero the spectrophotometer?
AS with any accurate machinery or scientific instrument there is a tendancy for them to get out of calibration over time, and after use. These products must meet specific requirements, codes, and standards. The purpose of "Zeroing" (or calibrating) is to make sure these items are brought back into "Zero" or "calibration" so that they can be as accurate as possible pertaining to the specifications that are required by the governing requirements, etc..

Is distilled water a good insulator?
Distilled water is not a good insulator as it still contains some ions that can conduct electricity. It has a low conductivity compared to tap water but is not a perfect insulator.
What is the weight of distilled water?
Seawater weighs about 27 grams per litre more than fresh water.
Which kind of water freezes faster?
Distilled water tends to freeze faster than tap water because it lacks impurities and minerals that can act as nucleation sites for ice crystals to form. This allows distilled water to supercool more easily and reach the freezing point faster.
Difference in conductivity between Distilled water and tap water?
Distilled water is water that has been vaporized and re-condensed and contains less (if not all) contaminants removed. Tap water has a whole host of chemicals in it due to additives, chemicals leeched into it from pipes, and chemicals left over from processing. But the primary difference is that tap water has natural minerals in it, such as calcium and magnesium, which can leave deposits in you teapot and on your shower head, but are actually healthier for drinking. Depending on what minerals and other chemicals are in the tap water, it can taste much better or much worse than distilled water, which has a flat taste.
Which Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches blank?
saturation point
If you want to read the absorbance at 595nm of a protein solution mixed with the colorizing solution called Bradford reagent what is a suitable reagent blank?
A suitable reagent blank for measuring the absorbance of a protein solution mixed with Bradford reagent at 595nm would be a blank containing all components of the reaction except the protein sample, such as water or buffer mixed with the Bradford reagent. This blank will account for any background absorbance contributed by the reagent itself, allowing for a more accurate measurement of the protein concentration.
You calibrated the spectrophotometer with what?
Most likely a blank solution (water or buffer).
Is distilled water sufficient as a blank?
Don'y know
Why would it not be correct to blank the spectrophotometer with deionized water?
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.
Why should you use ammonia-free distilled water on preparing of urea reagent?
i dont know soory
Why is it important to use seven up as your blank instead of distilled water?
It is not recommended.
Why do we add water to reagent blank?
The reagent blank should contain everything that the sample contains, except one variable. That variable could be the active ingredient, the enzyme, the substrate, or some other ingredient that is essential to the reaction. If water is added to all the other tubes, it must also be added to the reagent blank.
How do you prepare nesslers reagent?
To prepare Nessler's reagent, dissolve 7g of mercuric iodide and 35g of potassium iodide in distilled water, and then add 100g of potassium hydroxide pellets. Once the solution is clear, dilute it with water to make 1 liter of Nessler's reagent. This reagent is commonly used for detecting ammonia in solutions.
How do you prepare Schultz Reagent?
To prepare Schultz reagent, mix one part of concentrated sulfuric acid with nine parts distilled water. Allow the mixture to cool before use. This reagent is commonly used for the detection of proteins in biological samples.
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.
WHAT ISPasteur's salt solution?
Laboratory reagent consisting of potassium phosphate and calcium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and ammonium tartrate in distilled water
What is the difference between reagent blank and sample blank?
Reagent Blank : Take reagent and add deionised water (in place of sample to be tested). Now measure the OD at specific wavelength --> this OD is your reagent blank. Substract this OD from your test result (with sample) to avoid any false +ve effect due to colour of reagents itself.Sample Blank : Take sample and measure the OD without adding reagents --> this OD is your sample blank. Substract this OD from your test result to avoid any false +ve effect due to colour and turbidity of sample itself. As it is the fact that colour and turbidity of each sample would vary from one to another.So now it is clear that Reagent blank is used to avoid bias due to colour of reagents and Sample blank is used to avoid bias due to sample itself.
