Beer's Law states that A=ebc, where A is the absorbance, ε is the molar absorptivity of the solute, b is the path length, and c

is the concentration. Identify the experimental evidence from the activity that you have for the dependence of absorbance on each variable
The evidence for the dependence of absorbance on the variable ε is:_________

a. increasing the cuvette width increases the absorbance.
b. changing the compound changes the absorbance behavior.
c. adding more water decreases the absorbance.

Answer:

b. changing the compound changes the absorbance behavior.

Explanation:

Option a) would be akin to modifying the path length, b.

Option b) would involve using a different solute, as such, there would be another molar absortivity, ε.

Option c) would decrease the concentration (c) of the solute, which would explain why the absorbance would decrease as well.
