To a second 10.0 mL solution of lake water you add 5 mL of phenol, 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite, and 2.50 mL of a 5.50 x 104M ammonia solution and dilute to 25.0 mL (sample B). As a reagent blank, you mix 10.0 mL of distilled water with 5 mL of phenol, 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite and dilute to 25.0 mL (sample C). You measure the folowing absorbances using a 1.00 cm cuvet Absorbance (625 nm) 0.437 0.684 0.045 Sample What is the molar absorptivity (e) of the indophenol product, and what is the concentration of ammonia in the lake water? Number Number M cm NH lahe water Exit Previous Gve Up & View Saluton O Check Answer 0 Next HintExplanation / Answer
absorbance due to ammonia added = B -A
= 0.684 - 0.437
= 0.247
the concentration of NH3 added sample is = 5.50 x 10^-4 x 2.5 / 25
= 5.50 x 10^-5 M
E = A / b C
E = 0.247 / 1 x 5.50 x 10^-5
E = 4.49 x 10^3 M-1 cm-1 ----------------------------> answer 1
[NH3]lake water = A / E b
= (0.437 - 0.045 ) / 4.49 x 10^3 x 1 ) x 25 / 10
= 2.18 x 10^-4 M
[NH3]lake water =2.18 x 10^-4 M -------------------------> answer 2
