Question

Which one of the following properties of a liquid substance would disqualify it from being used in a spectrophotometer? Select one: O a. It is a translucent solution. O b. It is an opaque solution O c. It is an blue solution. O d. It is an orange solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

B- Opaque solution.

Explanation:

A spectrophotometer works by reading the amount of light that is absorbed by a given solution, it does so by analysing the transmittance of light in a solution contained in a quartz cell called cuvette.

Therefore, an opaque solution cannot be analysed by this technique because there would be no light transmittance.
