Question

Chromium forms a complex with diphenylcarbazide whose molar absorptivity is 4.17*10^4 at 540nm. Calculate the absorbance of a 7.68*10^-6 M solution of the complex at 540nm when measured in a 1.00cm cell and the transmittance of the solution.

Answer 1

0.32 liters/mole cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Beer Lambert's law;

A= εcl

ε = molar absorptivity

c= concentration

l= path length

A= 4.17*10^4 × 7.68*10^-6 × 1

A= 0.32 liters/mole cm.
