The concentration of many colorful solutions can be determined by the amount of light absorbed by the solution. The relationship between absorbance and concentration is a linear relationship known as Beer's law. The data below show the absorbance of a series of solutions of known concentrations of Substance A. Plot these data using Excel and determine the equation of the trendline. Use that equation to determine the concentration (M) of an unknown sample of Substance A. Concentration of Substance A (M) Absorbance

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] .
