Question

In-Lab Question 5a. Comparing your actual mass to the calculated target mass, would you predict the absorbance of your solution made from solid to be greater than or less than that of the unknown solution? greater than less than the same cannot tell

Answer 1

Answer:

less than

Explanation:

The absorbance of a solution is a function of the concentration (amount) of a substance in the solution. Mathematically, if the concentration is increased, the absorbance of the solution will also increase and if the concentration is decreased, the absorbance will decrease. There will be a decrease in the value of the absorbance because the calculated and predicted masses are not the same.
