2. How does Concentration affect how much light is absorbed and transmitted
through the solution?
Concentration affects how much light is absorbed and transmitted through and transmitted
through the solution because as it increases absorbance also increases and light transmitted
decreases.

(graph is also exponential bc as absorbency increases, so does concentration.)
The peach colored one with 549 nm because the green is absorbing the peach.
c. How are beam color, solution color, and absorbance related?
The darker the color, the higher the absorbance.
λ(nm) Abs
Solution: KMnO4
3. Compare your absorbance spectrum sketch with a group that chose a different
solution. Would you use the same wavelength of light to do spectroscopy
experiments with different colored solutions? Why or why not?
No because all solutions are different.
4. In a lab experiment monitoring the change in concentration of a reddish-brown
substance, FeNCS2+, a wavelength of 455 nm is used.
a. Does this wavelength agree with your conclusions about beam
color, solution color, and absorbance above? Why or why not?
