Answer #1

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

Assuming a molar absorptivity of 50,000 (Liters/mol cm) calculate what molarity you would need to get an absorbance of 1.0, using Beers Law. A =ε c l, where A is the absorbance; ε is the molar absorptivity in L/mol cm; c is the concentration in mol/liter; and l is the path length in cm, which, in our case, is 1.00 cm. Algebraically rearranging gives c = A/ε l =A/ε. B) Start with 20 mg of your dye. Calculate what morality...
