Given the absorbances and concentrations of NO2-, calculate the molar absorbtivity (cm-1?M-1)of this compound. Assume a 1.00 cm path length. ( Hint: Need to construct a Beer's Law Graph)
Concentration (?M) | 200 | 100 | 50 | 25 | 15 | 10 |
Absorbance | 1.13 | 0.58 | 0.31 | 0.14 | 0.1 | 0.05 |
We have,
Absorbance = x Concentration x Pathlength
Thus, if a plot of absorbance vs concentration is giving a straight line, the slope of the line will be ( x l).
Here, the plot of absorbance vs concentration can be shown as,
Slope of the straight line from the graph = 0.0056/M
Therefore, Molar absorptivity co-efficient, = 0.0056 cm-1M-1
