To determine copper in a metallic alloy, 1.245 g of an alloy sample is dissolved in a 1: 2 mixture of acid. nitric and sulfuric acid. The dissolved product is made up to 250 mL with water (solution A). In a cell that is 1 cm thick, performs the measurement at the wavelength of maximum absorbance of a solution with a concentration of 750 ppm of copper, giving an absorbance of 0.505. What will be the percentage by weight of copper in the alloy if solution A gives us a reading of 16.8% transmittance in it? cell at the same wavelength?
