Interpretation:
The percent transmittance and absorbance for the given sample are to be calculated from the given data.
Concept introduction:
UV–vis spectroscopy uses light from the UV and visible regions of the spectrum. These wavelengths range from
At each wavelength, the intensity of light that reaches the detector (
The percent transmittance is converted to the corresponding absorbance by using the following equation:
Answer to Problem 15.1P
The calculated percent transmittance for the given sample is
The calculated absorbance for the given sample is
Explanation of Solution
It is given that the intensity of the radiation from the source (
The percent transmittance (
Thus, by putting all given values we get
Thus, the calculated percent transmittance for the given sample is
The percent transmittance is converted to the corresponding absorbance by using the following equation:

- Determine the standard concentration of A through E and then the absorbance. I just need clarification on if I add together the two ml values given.arrow_forwardA sample of a red dye and a sample of a blue dye both have the same concentration. Their Absorbance is measured using the same spectrophotometer. At a particular wavelength, will both samples give the same Absorbance reading? Why or why not?arrow_forwardProblem (2): .A carbon deuterium C-D bond is electronically much like a C-H bond, and it has similar stiffness, measured by spring constant, k. The deuterium isotope has twice the mass of the hydrogen atom. Calculate the IR absorption frequency of a typical C-D bond. Given that the IR absorption frequency of C-H is 3000 cm-1? m(C) = 12u , m(H) = 1uarrow_forward
- This absorbance value (no wavelength where the maximum absorption occurs) corresponds to what % Transmittance value?arrow_forwardPlot the Table attached - Absorbance vs. Time then answer the following: Q. When determining the slope of the line, you should omit any points from any obvious curved regions. For the table attached, what is the last time point you used to determine the slope of the linear portion of the plot?arrow_forwardYour turn: draw structure and properly label the following spectrum for isopropyl acetate (1- methylethyl ethanoate).

- state if true or false 1. Considering that concentration and the size of sample container are the same, a sample with a higher molar absorptivity will have a higher TRANSMITTANCE than a sample with the lower E (molar absorptivity). 2. Considering that concentration and the size of sample container are the same, a sample with a higher molar absorptivity will have a higher ABSORBANCE than a sample with the lower E (molar absorptivity). 3. The higher the concentration of a sample is the higher the transmittance will be. 4. Spectrophotometry is the study of how light interacts with matter 5. During an absorbance reading, light must pass through the opaque side of the cuvette. 6. Distilled water is an acceptable blank solution for any samplearrow_forward(Select the one response that correctly completes the statement below.) If a substance has a low absorbance, it has a percent transmittance. high zero low O O Oarrow_forwardAnswer the ecell value onlyarrow_forward
