Question: (a) A 3.96 10 4 M solution of compound A exhibited an absorbance of 0.624 at 238 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet; a blank

(a) A 3.96 × 104 M solution of compound A exhibited an absorbance of 0.624 at 238 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet; a blank solution containing only solvent had an absorbance of 0.029 at the same wavelength. Find the molar absorptivity of compound A.

(b) The absorbance of an unknown solution of compound A in the same solvent and cuvet was 0.375 at 238 nm. Find the concentration of A in the unknown.

(c) A concentrated solution of compound A in the same solvent was diluted from an initial volume of 2.00 mL to a final volume of 25.00 mL and then had an absorbance of 0.733. What is the concentration of A in the concentrated solution?
