The basic relationship of the following two formulas 1. The first formula is (A= ?bc) & 2. The second formula is formula ( Concentration of test=absorbance of test x concentration of standard divided by absorbance of standard
Added by Deme B.
Step 1
The first formula is A = ?bc, where A represents absorbance, ? represents the molar absorptivity (a constant that depends on the substance being measured), b represents the path length of the sample (usually in centimeters), and c represents the concentration of Show more…

(a) A solution of a compound X gives an absorbance reading of 0.446. What is the percentage transmittance (\% $T$ )? (b) The transmittance for another sample of $\mathbf{X}$ is $70.9 \% .$ To what absorbance reading does this correspond?
A solution of a compound in ethanol shows an absorbance of 0.52 at $236 \mathrm{nm}$ in a cell with a $1 \mathrm{cm}$ light path. Its molar absorptivity in ethanol at that wavelength is $12,600 \mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{cm}^{-1} .$ What is the concentration of the compound?
