9. A second instrumental limitation to Beer's Law is stray radiation. The following data were obtained using a cell with a pathlength of 1.00 cm, when the stray light is insignificant (Pstray = 0). = [Analyte) (M) 0.000 0.002 0.004 0.006 0.008 0.010 Absorbance 0.00 0.40 0.80 1.20 1.60 2.00 Calculate the absorbance of each solution when Pstray is 5% of Po and plot beer's law calibration curves for both sets of data. Explain any differences between the two curves. (Hint: Assume that Po is 100)
