Question

What should be done if a spectrophotometer reports an absorbance that is too high? Select one: Reposition the cuvette in the spectrophotometer. Pour out half the volume of the sample. Restart the spectrophotometer and try again. Dilute the sample. g

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample should be diluted

Explanation:

According to Beer Lambert's law, the absorbance of a sample depends on the concentration of the sample.

Hence, if the concentration of the sample is very high, the spectrophotometer will also report a very high value of absorbance.

When this is the case, the sample should simply be diluted and the readings are taken again using the spectrophotometer.
