First, we need to find the relationship between concentration and absorbance using the given data points. We can use the Beer-Lambert Law, which states that absorbance (A) is proportional to concentration (C): A = ε * l * C where ε is the molar absorptivity and Show more…

Suppose you measure the absorbance of a yellow dye solution in a 1.00 cm cuvette (b = 1.00 cm). The absorbance of the solution at 427 nm is 0.65. If the molar extinction coefficient of the yellow dye at 427 nm is 27400 M^(-1)cm^(-1), what is the concentration of the solution in M?

The absorbance for a dye sample of unknown concentration is measured and the corrected absorbance is 0.5482. Calculate the concentration of the dye sample.

In Experiment 2, the absorbance of four standard Congo Red solutions was measured to obtain a calibration curve that gave the following best fit line: y = 0.0956x + 0.0504. If you have an undiluted unknown that had an absorbance of 0.785, what would be the concentration of the unknown? (Don't worry about the units.)
