You measurethe aborbance and find it to be 0.671 at 524 nm. 36 Determine the concentration of the unknown solution in terms of molarity Submit Answer Tries 0/99

Explanation / Answer

6. If molarity of solution #1 = 1.396 x 10^-5 M

molarity of solution #2 = 8.568 x 10^-6 M

using absorbances,

absorbance for solution #1 = 0.515

absorbance for solution #2 = 0.315

the average epsilon (molar absorptivity) = (0.315 - 0.515)/(8.568 x 10^-6 - 1.396 x 10^-5)

                                                                = 37092 M-1.cm-1

7. absorbance of unknown solution = 0.671

using,

concentration = absorbance/molar absorptivity x path length

where,

path length = 1 cm

we get,

concentration of the unknown solution = 0.671/37092 = 1.81 x 10^-5 M
