Question
100%
While performing absorbance measurements of standard solutions, Taranpreet used
- 8 mL of solution in the cuvette for each determination. She then repeated the
same measurements using - 6 mL of solution In the cuvette for each determination,
For each set of measurements, she used the same spectrometer with the same
cuvette, and assume that for each set of measurements the cuvette was filled high
enough such that the light from the spectrometer passed through the solution.
Which statement is true?
O a) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will have no effect on the measured
values
O b) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a smaller slope for the
calibration curve
c) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a lower concentration of
analyte determined in the unknown sample
O d) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in absorbance values that are
above the detection range of the spectrometer
O e) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in a calibration curve that is
not linear
