A. Determine the maximum absorbance wavelength for the dye (Amaranth) in nm (use internet or ask me for alternative method if you don't have regular access) and in a few sentences explain what is happening when inside the instrument when an absorbance spectra is being acquired. What are the units on the y-axis (ordinate) of the graph? What would be the problem with using a acrylic cell when the sample absorbs in the UV region of the EM spectrum? Explain IN DETAIL (including what glassware you would use, etc.) how you would prepare 10 standards of stock solution and do one calculation showing how the stock solution (3.0e-03 M) would be diluted to the most concentrated standard (3.0e-05 M) and what the purpose of using standards is when determining an unknown sample.
