According to Beer-Lambert's law: A = cl
Where is the molar absorption coefficient, c is the concentration of solution and l is the path length.
Now, 0.767 = 0.0024 mL/g * c - 0.0529
i.e. c = (0.767 + 0.0529)/0.0024 = 341.625 g/mL
The total volume of the solution = 0.2 mL + 0.8 mL + 2.0 mL = 3.0 mL
Therefore, c = 341.625 g/mL * 3 mL = 1024.875 g = 1.024875*10-3 g
Now, the percentage of glucose in the sample of ripe bananas = (mass of glucose/mass of sample of
ripe banana) * 100 = (1.024875*10-3 g/0.94 g)*100 = 0.11%
