Aspectrophotometer measures the transmittance or the absorbance, or both, of a particular wavelength of light after it has passed through a liquid sample. before the transmittance or absorbance of the sample is measured, a cuvette filled only with solvent, called the blank, is placed in the spectrophotometer and measured. select the reason that, after the blank is measured, the cuvette must be placed in the spectrophotometer in the same orientation each time that it is used.
a. the spectrophotometer will break if the cuvette position is changed during the experiment.
b. the transmittance of the cuvette must be measured in the same place each time.
c. the cuvette will only fit into the spectrophotometer in one orientation.
d. the transmittance of the liquid must be measured in the same place each time.

b. The transmittance of the cuvette must be measured in the same place each time.

Explanation:

When using a spectrophotometer, light passes not only through the liquid sample, it also passes through the cuvette. This means that each time a reading is made, you not only measure the transmittance/absorbance of the sample, but of the cuvette as well.

For this reason it's important that the reading of the cuvette's absorbance remains the same through all the process, so the answer is b), because different faces of the cuvette may have different absorbances.

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
