Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a solution has a concentration of 0.1 M and a path length of 1 cm, what is the absorbance if ε = 200 L/(mol·cm)?
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have a concentration (c) of 0.1 M, a path length (l) of 1 cm, and the molar absorptivity (ε) of 200 L/(mol·cm).
  • Step 2: Write down the Beer-Lambert Law formula: A = εcl, where A is the absorbance.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: A = 200 L/(mol·cm) * 0.1 mol/L * 1 cm.
  • Step 4: Calculate the product: 200 * 0.1 * 1 = 20.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the absorbance (A) is 20.
  • Beer-Lambert Law – The Beer-Lambert Law relates the absorbance of a solution to its concentration, path length, and molar absorptivity.
