Beer-Lambert Law

AP Chemistry· difficulty 2/5

Calibration of Cu2+ shows a slope giving A = 2.0 * [Cu2+].

[Cu2+] (M) A 0.40 0.20

A solution with absorbance 0.40 has concentration:

  • A

    0.40 M

  • B

    0.10 M

  • C

    0.80 M

  • D

    0.20 M

Explanation

From A = 2.0 * c, c = 0.40/2.0 = 0.20 M, matching the dashed grid line.
