A photometer when placed in a blank in light path provides a reading of 700 mV and 170 mV when it was replaced by an absorbing solution. Calculate: a) % transmittance and absorbance of the absorbing solution. b) Transmittance when the concentration of absorber is one half of the original solution. c) Transmittance when the light path through the original solution is doubled.
