Question

Which of the following expressions is incorrect?
a. A = log(%T)
O b.A = -log(1/l,)
O C. A = Elc + constant
O d. A = Elc
O e. A = -log(%T/100)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Absorbance of a solution is equal to the product of molar absorptivity coefficient ( $\in$ ) concentration of solution (c) and length of tube (l) in which solution is kept.

$A = \in \times c \times l$

Absorbance is also equal to the ratio of log of incident rays (I_o) and transmitted rays (I).

$A = - \log (\frac{I}{I_{o}})$

From the above definition of absorbance, option c is incorrect.
