The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.

Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T

Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer

Tm = 0.44

Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654

True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)

S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06

α= 1, ideal case

T = true transmittance of the sample

Tm = T+S(α-T)

now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233

therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)

i.e; 0.3933

Why must the red blood cells and the solution in the beaker be isotonic?
lesantik [10]

If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net flow of water into or out of the cell, and the cell's volume will remain stable. If the solute concentration outside the cell is the same as inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, then that solution is isotonic to the cell.
