The absorbance of a metal complex (M) solution containing 0.00500 mg/mL was reported as 0.4900 at 540 nm.
a) Calculate the specific absorptivity, including units, of the metal complex on the assumption that a 1.00 cm cuvette was used.
b) Predict the absorbance when
i. the solution is diluted to twice its original volume.
ii. the solution is placed in a 5.00 cm cuvette.
