Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for nonlinear relationship between absorbance and concentration of U should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Spectral lines are lines which help in identifying the atoms and molecules. These are a result of absorption or emission of light in a comparatively narrower frequency range compared to the frequencies nearby.

What color would you expect for light transmitted through a solution with an absorption maximum at (a) 450; (b) 550; (c) 650 nm?
As part of an investigation on Pb in biological ecosystems, some grasses that grew along the road and were exposed to emissions from motor gasoline were collected. 6.2501 g of grass were calcined to destroy all organic matter, the inorganic residue was properly treated and finally made up to 100 mL. An aliquot of 50 mL of this solution was read in an atomic absorption spectrophotometer registering an absorbance of 0.1250; then 0.10 mL of a standard solution of 55 µg of Pb / mL were added to the other 50 mL, with this fortified sample, another absorbance measurement was made, which was 0.1798. Calculate the µg of Pb / g of grass
(b) A compound having molecular weight 151.163 g/mol is determined in a sample. A 0.0302 g sample was dissolved in an aqueous solvent and diluted the solution to 1 L. The solution has A max at 243 nm (ɛ=2.6×104 cm1 mol1 L). The solution exhibits an absorbance of 0.642 in a 2 cm cell. Calculate the percentage of the above compound in the sample.
