    absorption spectroscopy.

    Worked out Problems


    It is your responsibility to work out your answers clearly. Unclear, or unreadable work will not be
    graded. If there is not enough space provided to show your work, continue on the back of the page
    and clearly mark the problem number. Be sure to show all of your work and report your final
    answer with the correct number of significant figures and units. Unless otherwise noted, an
    unreasonable number of significant figures in a final answer will be marked off 2 points. A correct
    answer without work shown will not receive credit. Circle or draw a box around your final
    answer.

    mL, and gives an instrument response of 3589.
    Solution 2 contains 5.00 mL of unknown sample, 3.00 mL of standard
    (containing 200.0 µg/L of A), is diluted to a total of 10.00 mL, and gives an
    instrument response of 9618.
