Why would a chemist using a spectrophotometer need to perform both a scan across all wavelengths and a scan at a specific wavelength?
3. You have two solutions containing the same compound having the same pink color. The concentration
of the first solution is 2.0 M, while the concentration of the other solution is 2.5 M. Absorbance of each
solution was measured with the same spectrophotometer at the same wavelength.
a) Which solution has the more intense pink color?
b) Which solution has the higher absorbance?
