Sometimes a person will read the percent transmittance scale of a colorimeter rather than the absorbance scale and then convert %T into "A." What value of "A" corresponds to each of the following: 10% T, 50% T, 90% T ?

4. A colorimeter (or spectrophotometer) actually measures percent transmittance (%T), as described in the appendix, and the LabQuest automatically converts that to absorbance. The relationship is logarithmic: Abs = 2 -log(%T) Imagine you have four solutions, and use the LabQuest to measure the absorbance of each one. You then convert to %T as below: Solution Absorbance % Transmittance W 0.250 56.23% 0.750 17.78% 2.250 0.562% Z 2.750 0.178% х Y Consider the sensitivity of the instrument. Do you think all...
If you use a Spec-20 with an analog scale you must read percent transmittance, and convert your transmittance reading to absorbance. What is the absorbance of a solution that transmits 100% of the light shining on it? What is the absorbance of a solution that transmits 5.0% of the light? What is the absorbance of a solution that transmits 0% of the light shining on it?
What absorbance value corresponds to 47.3% T'? A = A 0.0150 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 47.3% T at a wavelength of 280 nm. What will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0250 M solution of the same analyte? Assume the pathlengths for each measurement are equal. %T =
What absorbance value corresponds to 47.1% T? A 0.0188 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 47.1% T at a wavelength of 280 nm. What will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0281 M solution of the same analyte? Assume the pathlengths for each measurement are equal.
What absorbance value corresponds to 41.1% T? .386 A 0.0142 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 41.1% T at a wavelength of 280 nm. What will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0284 M solution of the same analyte? Assume the pathlengths for each measurement are equal. %T
What absorbance value corresponds to 41.8% T? A = A 0.0110 M solution of a certain analyte exhibits 41.8% T at a wavelength of 280 nm. What will the percent transmittance be for a 0.0299 M solution of the same analyte? Assume the pathlengths for each measurement are equal. %T =

PROBLEMS 1. How would using a ratio scale (rather than a linear scale) affect Figure 1.1? How fast would a country have to be growing in order to double its output in nine years? You should aswer this question using the rule of 72, not a calculator. 3. Suppose that in a particular country, GDP per capita was $1,000 in 1900 and $4,000 in 1948. Using the rule of 72 (not a calculator), approximate the annual growth rate of GDP...
