When measuring the concentration of the blue dye you get a reading of 3.0 for an initial stock solution, and again after it is diluted. Explain why this result could occur
The beer-lambert law measures amount of radiation is being absorbed when it is passed through the solution.
This formula is the common form of the Beer-Lambert Law, although it can be also written in terms of intensities:
A= log10(I0/I) = Elc
Where, E= is abosorption co-efficient
c= Concentration of the solution, l= Length of the light path
In case of stock solution, the concentration of blue dye is fairly high and we see absorbance nearly 3.0. But when we dilute the solution, the moles of blue dye remains same as before( i.e as in stock solution). Therefore, the radiation passing through the solution will eventually interact with same no. of moles of blue dye in diluted solution and give absorbance nearly 3.0
Note: External effect such as temperature, pressure and protic solvent, excessive concentration of target compound will deviate the spectroscopic measurement.

A student measures k for a certain blue dye to be 200.4 M1 at 560 nm. What is the molarity of the dye in a solution with an absorbance of 0.118 at this wavelength? 3) 4) If you did not wipe your fingerprints off from the cuvette before measuring absorbance in a spectrophotometer, what would you expect to happen to your absorbance reading? Explain your answer.
Suppose you have 100.00 mL of a solution of a dye and transfer 2.00 mL of the solution to a 100.00 mL volumetric flask. After adding water to the 100.00 mL mark, you take 5.00 mL of that solution and again dilute to 100.00 mL. If you find the dye concentration in the final diluted sample is 0.000129 M, what was the dye concentration in the original solution? Concentration
The concentration of dye in Solution A is 20.286 M. You have 13 mL of water at your disposal to make the dilutions. The solution is diluted twice, to make Solutions B and C. In the first dilution, 5 parts of Solution A is diluted with 12 parts water to make Solution B. In the second dilution, 2 parts of Solution B is diluted with 4 parts water to make Solution C. What is the concentration of dye in Solution...

Chemistry lab question! Help please!
A student finds a solution of blue dye #2 (another food dye we are not using in this lab) in a 1.0 cm cuvette has a maximum absorbance of 0.572 at 613 nm. The molar extinction coefficient, E, of blue #2 at the same wavelength is 1.21 * 10^4 M^-1 cm^-1. Calculate the concentration of this solution. The same student as in question 3 brings the blue dye #2 solution to her friend Bob to...
