Problem
A solution of Compound X has a molar absorptivity of 2.4×104Lmol−1cm−1 at 525nm and a concentration of 1.2×10−5M. Two cuvettes are available.
(a) Calculate the absorbance if the solution is placed in a 1.00 cm cuvette.
(b) Calculate the absorbance if the solution is placed in a 5.00 cm cuvette and state which path length yields a reading inside the optimal range 0.10–1.00.
