Worksheet: The Beer–Lambert Law
In this worksheet, we will practice using the Beer–Lambert Law to calculate absorption from the molar extinction coefficient, path length, and concentration.
Q1:
According to the Beer-Lambert Law, which two variables are linearly correlated if the path length of the cell is held constant?
- ATransmission intensity and concentration
- BConcentration and wavelength
- CTransmission intensity and wavelength
- DAbsorbance and concentration
Q2:
Which of the following describes the correct relationship between absorbance and transmission?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q3:
An absorbance value of zero corresponds to 100% transmittance. What transmittance value corresponds to an absorbance value of 2?
- A98%
- B0%
- C80%
- D1%
