Question

If you forgot to set the 100% transmittance on the spectrophotometer and it was inaccurate when you measured your samples by +.08 absorbance units, which of the following measurements would be the most affected? Circle your answer

1.2 A units 0.65 A units 0.12 A units

Answer 1

The answer to this question is simple

In the experiment we are getting +0.8 absorbance extra reading

So the larger the absorbance reading less it will be affected and smaller the absorbance reading more it will get affected.

So most affected reading will be 0.12 A unit because the 0.08 reading is very large value compared to it's original value

So answer is

0.12 A units
