a) calculate the concentration of your unknown (Gatorade) using correct units Note if you did not run the Gatorade use absorbance =0.205 abs units in order to calculate the concentration of the dye in the Gatorade

b) calculate of % T for an absorbance of 1.5 using the result. explain why the absorbance measurement more than 1 may not be accurate

c) The electron transitions responsible for the colors of transition metal ions involve d to d orbital transitions. Why are Zn ions are colorless in aqueous solutions

1 answer

So what do you want for a?
b. A = log 1/T (or 100/%T)
What do you calculate for %T?
c. write the orbital notation for Zn and you will see the answer.
