Question

1) What absorbance value corresponds to 43.1% T?

2) If a 0.0109 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 43.1% T at a wavelength of 280 nm, what will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0254 M solution of the same analyte? Assume the pathlengths for each measurement are equal.

What absorbance value corresponds to 43.1% T? Number 0.366 If a 0.0109 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 43.1% Tat a wavelength of 280 nm, what will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0254 M solution of the same analyte?

Explanation / Answer

a)

Apply rule:

A = log(1/T)

A = log(1/0.431)

b)

% T for C = 0.0254 M

C1 = 0.0109

relate:

C1/T1 = C2/T2

T2 = C2/C1*T1 = (0.0254/0.0109)*43.1 --> 100.434 --> 100%
