Question

A sample of blue copper (II) sulfate is analyzed using a spectrophotometer (or colorimeter). When analyzed by four different wavelengths, the solution obtain the following absorbance data:
425 nm=0.12
480 nm=0.25
510 nm=0.98
610 nm=0.11
What is the optimum wavelength(s) to be used for analysis?

A
425 nm and 610 nm

Solution

The correct option is B 425 nm and 610 nm
When the solution of copper(II) sulfate was analyzed using a spectrometer for different wavelengths, we can see that absorbance is almost similar for wavelength corresponding to 425 nm and 610 nm.
Thus,
425 nm - 0.12
610 nm - 0.11 Both are almost similar.
Therefore option A.
