Question

13.Which of the following is the reason that a more concentrated dye solution absorbs more light than a less concentrated solution?

  A.

There are fewer molecules of dye in solution that can absorb electrons, meaning more electrons reach the detector, increasing absorbance.

  B.

There are more molecules of dye in solution that can absorb electrons.

  C.

There are more molecules of dye in solution that can absorb isotopes.

  D.

There are more molecules of dye in solution that can absorb photons, meaning fewer photons reach the detector, increasing absorbance.

  E.

There are fewer molecules of dye in solution that can absorb photons, meaning more photons reach the detector, increasing absorbance.
