To determine the amount of copper and the identity of the copper compound in the unknown sample, a 100-mL solution containing 120.8 mg of the sample was initially prepared. Then, 5.00 mL of this solution was pipetted and diluted with deionized water in another 100-mL volumetric flask. The absorbance of this diluted solution was determined three times at the analytical wavelength. The data is in the table below.    Unknown sample Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Absorbance (AU) 0.378 0.379 0.377 What is the corrected absorbance?
