Although the use of absorbances at 450 nm provided you with maximum sensitivity, the absorbances at, say, 400 nm or 500 nm are n

ot zero and could have been used throughout this experiment. Would the same value of K be obtained at one of these wavelengths

Answer:

Yes, the value will be the same.

Explanation:

Yes, or at least to some degree, that value of K will remain the same. You're looking for a difference in absorbance, and the difference should be visible at all wavelengths, not only at the limit. That being said, resolution varies, and if we don't read the value to the maximum, we can get a less accurate reading.
