Explanation / Answer

Prepare a plot of molarity of the standard solutions vs the absorbances as shown below.

B) The regression equation is y = 9429.3x – 0.0115 where y is the absorbance of the solution having concentration x (in M)

Put y = 0.165 (no unit) in the linear equation and obtain

0.165 = 9429.3x – 0.0115

====> 9429.3x = 0.1535

====> x = 1.6279*10-5

The concentration of the unknown diluted solution is 1.6279*10-5 M (ans).

C) Beer’s law is given as A = *C*l where is the molar absorptivity of the solution; C is the concentration of the solution and l is the path length of the solution. The path length of the solution is usually taken as 1.00 cm.

Compare this equation with the regression equation and we can identify that *l = 9249.3.

Since x has unit M, the unit for 9429.3 will be 9429.3 M-1; therefore,

*(1.00 cm) = 9429.3 M-1

====> = (9429.3 M-1)/(1.00 cm) = 9429.3 M-1cm-1 (ans).
