Question

CuSO4 absorbs light strongly at a wavelength of 635 nm. Consider that you measure the initial intensity of light, $I_0$, entering the solution at 635 nm, and the intensity of light passing through the solution, I, at 635 nm. Sample 1: 0.100 M CuSO4 Sample 2: 0.200 M CuSO4 Which of the following statements is true? The absorbance of light, A, will be higher for Sample 1 compared to Sample 2. The absorbance of light, A, will be the same for Sample 1 compared to Sample 2. The absorbance of light, A, will be lower for Sample 1 compared to Sample 2.

Step 1

Step 1: The Beer-Lambert law states that the absorbance (A) of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration (c) of the absorbing species and the path length (l) of the light through the solution: $A = \epsilon lc$ where $\epsilon$ is the molar Show more…
