5.00mL of a Co+2 solution gives absorbance, A, of 0.50 at its lamda max using an UV-visible spectrophotometer. If 5.00mL of 0.100M Co2+ solution is added into this Co2+ solution, the absorbance is 0.75. Calculate the concentration of Co2+ in the previous (original) solution.
0.050M
Explanation
Soriginal/Soriginal + std = Coriginal / ((Coriginal + Cstd)/dilution factor)
where,
Soriginal = Absorbance for original , 0.50
Soriginal + std = Absorbance for std added solution ,0.75M
Coriginal = Original solution concentrstion,?
Cstd = 0.100M
substitute the values
0.50/0.75 = Coriginal /(0.100M + (Corigina)/2 )
(0.05M + (0.5Coriginal))0.6667 = Coriginal
0.0333M+ 0.6667(0.5Coriginal) = Coriginal
0.6667Coriginal = 0.0333M
Coriginal = 0.050 M
