Since the absorbance level is actually just a fraction of radiation absorbed at a given wavelength, it should never rise above %100.

Why do value of absorbance have no units?

Because it's a relative value.


Why are the absorbance values obtained from the conversion chart rather than the absorbance scale on the spectronic 20?

because that chart gives a more accurate value than the absorbance scale on the specthometor

True or false As the concentration of a colored solution increases the absorbance value decreases?

Absorbance rises with concentration because there is more material for a given frequency of light to be absorbed in. Your statement is false.


In a plot of absorbance vs concentration what does the slope represent?

The slope of absorbance vs concentration reptresents the value of εb, where ε is the absorbtivity with units of (L/mol cm) and b is path length measured in cm.


How do you find the concentration of potato cells immersed in salt solutions?

You would have to use a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of your unknown solution. But first, you need to make several solutions with known concentrations. Measure the absorbance of the known concentrations and plot them on an X and Y axis where X equals concentration and Y equals absorbance. Do a best-fit line for your data. Measure the absorbance of your unknown solution. Find this value on your Y-axis and find out where this value intersects with your line of best fit. The X value at the intersection is your concentration of potato cells. By the way, make sure you use the same wavelength throughout the experiment.


What is external calibration and is it the same as the manual calibration of equipment?

Well, external calibration is a method used in analytical chemistry to determine the concentration of an unknown analyte. In essence, you take known concentrations of the analyte and plot it on an absorbance or transmittance graph to get a linear plot. And then you take that linear equation and plug in the absorbance or transmittance value received from the unknown solution and get the concentration. An example of this is if you want to find out the amount of calcium in a vitamin tablet. Dissolve the vitamin tablet and test the solution to get an absorbance value. Then test by the same method various concentrations of a calcium solution, plot this on a graph of absorbance vs. concentration and there yah go.
