Question

Describe how you could use the Beer's Law simulation to experimentally determine the best wavelength at which to perform an experiment

A. Measure the absorbance for solutions of multiple different solutes and find the minimum absorbance.
B. Measure the absorbance for solutions with different concentrations and find the slope of the trendline.
C. Measure the absorbance for the same solution at different wavelengths and find the maximum absorbance.
D. Measure the absorbance for the same solution in different cuvette sizes and find the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Measure the absorbance for the same solution at different wavelengths and find the maximum absorbance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the wavelength of maximum absorption, many different wavelengths must be passed through a solution and the corresponding absorption is measured for each wavelength.

The wavelength at which the maximum absorption occurs is known as the wavelength of maximum absorption. This is the wavelength st which the experiment should be performed.
