Question

Which of the following increases as the concentration of a colored solution increases? wavelenght transmittance absorbance b) A blue-green solution will absorb light most strongly in this part of the spectrum: 450nm 580nm 800nm

Answer 1

a) Absorbance

b) The absorb light most strongly in 580nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Beer-Lambert law relates concentration with light absorbance. The more concentrated solution are the more molecules and the most absorbance.

Wavelenght depends of composition of solution and doesn't change with different concentrations of the same solution.

Transmittance is inversely proportional to absorbance. Thus, the more concentrated solution the less transmittance.

Colored compounds are absorb energy of visible radiation. The colour that we see is a result of the absortion of complimentary colour (Colour wheel). Thus, a blue-green solution absorb energy of ≈600 nm. Thus, the absorb light most strongly in 580nm.

I hope it helps!
