Problem

An aqueous solution of a metal complex has a concentration of 0.0200 M0.0200\,\text{M}. It is placed in a rectangular cuvette whose internal width is 8.0 mm8.0\,\text{mm}. The molar absorptivity of the complex at the selected wavelength is 50 L mol−1 cm−150\,\text{L\,mol}^{-1}\text{\,cm}^{-1}. What absorbance should be recorded for this sample? (a) 0.400.40 (b) 1.01.0 (c) 0.800.80 (d) 0.080.08
