Answer:

The concentration of the murexide solution is 0.0000745 M

Step-by-step explanation:

From Beer-Lambert's law,

A = εlc

A = Absorbance = 28.65% = 0.2865

ε = molar absorptivity = 3847 M/cm

l = path length = 1cm

c = concentration in mol/L = ?

c = A/εl = 0.2865/(3847×1) = 0.0000745 mol/L

Hope this Helps!
