Problem

A researcher needs 50.0 mL of a solution that gives an absorbance of 0.360 when measured in a 1.00 cm cuvette at a wavelength where the molar absorptivity is 3.60×102 L mol−1 cm−13.60\times10^{2}\,\text{L}\,\text{mol}^{-1}\,\text{cm}^{-1}. If the available stock solution has a concentration of 0.500 M, what volume of the stock (to the nearest 0.01 mL) should be pipetted and then diluted to 50.0 mL? (a) 1.0 mL1.0\text{ mL} (b) 10.0 mL10.0\text{ mL} (c) 0.10 mL0.10\text{ mL} (d) 0.20 mL0.20\text{ mL}
