The absorbance of light by a solution is inversly proportionate to the concentration of the absorbing solute. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The fundamental law governing light absorption, known as Beer's law, is: A = c L (5) where A = absorbance of the sample (also defined below in terms of light intensity) c = concentration of the absorbing species (mol/liter) L = path length traveled by the light beam through the sample (cm) = molar extinction coefficient of the absorbing species (L⋅mol-1⋅cm-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any reasoning?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you think it is true, instead of just guessing? Any explanations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it, the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the absorbing solute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
