Explain satisfactorily without weighing out a new sample

Reference no: EM13521741

A student weighed a copper wire sample that was considerably larger than the size recommended in the procedure. The copper was dissolved and diluted to 50 mL as directed. The percent transmittance reading on the spectrophotometer was 0.0.

a) explain the significance of a percent transmittance reading of 0.0 in this situation.

b) could a percent transmittance reading of 0.00 be used in calculations? Briefly explain.

c) suggest a procedure that the student could follow to finish the experiment satisfactorily without weighing out a new sample of copper wire.
