Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.18QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The concentration required for the 0.196 transmittance to be increased by factor 3 when a 1 cm cell was used should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The percent of light passing through the sample can be reported in a transmittance. In order to calculate the percent transmittance, the transmittance is multiplied by 100.
