Why is it generally preferable to use absorbance as a measure of absorption rather than % transmittance?
EXPLANATION
Differential Scanning Calorimetry , Rheometry
- Absorbance vs. Percent Transmittance in Spectrophotometry:
- Beer-Lambert Law Linearity:
- Absorbance ($A$) is directly proportional to analyte concentration ($c$), yielding linear calibration curves.
- Percent Transmittance ($\%T = 100 \times 10^{-A}$) exhibits a non-linear exponential decay with concentration, complicating quantitative determinations.
- Conclusion: Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not (Option 3).
Correct option: (3) Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not
