Chapter 6, Problem 6.17QAP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The percent transmittance 11.35% is to be converted into absorbance.

Concept introduction:

The percent of light passing through the sample can be reported in a transmittance. In order to calculate the percent transmittance, the transmittance is multiplied by 100.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The percent transmittance 45.6% is to be converted into absorbance.

Concept introduction:

The percent of light passing through the sample can be reported in a transmittance. In order to calculate the percent transmittance, the transmittance is multiplied by 100.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The percent transmittance 22.8% is to be converted into absorbance.

Concept introduction:

The percent of light passing through the sample can be reported in a transmittance. In order to calculate the percent transmittance, the transmittance is multiplied by 100.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The percent transmittance 1.085% is to be converted into absorbance.

Concept introduction:

The percent of light passing through the sample can be reported in a transmittance. In order to calculate the percent transmittance, the transmittance is multiplied by 100.
