Fill in the following blanks.
As the dye concentration increases, the absorbance of the light [linearly increases, linearly decreases, exponentially increases or exponentially decreases].
The dye concentration units are [molar (M), millimolar (mM) or grams per liter (g/L)] .
Although most people wrongly conclude that absorbance has units nm, in fact, absorbance is unitless. This is because it results from a ratio of light through a colored sample relative to light intensity through a clear (blank) sample.
The units for the slope of the graph would be [mM, 1/mM or nm] . Hint: the slope is the change in y values divided by the change in x values.
The units for the y-intercept of the graph would be [nm, nM or unitless] .
The value for the slope of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008]
The value for the y-intercept of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008] .
What is the true color of matter? Is color an inherently intrinsic property?Why do substances have the color that they do? Why does the eye see the color that it does? What is the physics of color?
