In a spectrophotometric analysis, a solution absorbs 0.602 units at 450 nm. If the path length is 1.0 cm and the molar absorptivity is 1.5 × 10³ L/mol•cm, what is the concentration of the solution?

Correct answer: A. 4.01 × 10⁻⁴ M

  • A. 4.01 × 10⁻⁴ M
  • B. 2.01 × 10⁻³ M
  • C. 4.01 × 10⁻³ M
  • D. 9.03 × 10⁻⁴ M

Explanation

Beer-Lambert Law: A = ε × c × l. Concentration c = A/(ε × l) = 0.602/(1.5 × 10³ × 1.0) = 4.01 × 10⁻⁴ M.
