If pure vitamin $A$ has $\lambda_{\max }=325(\epsilon=50,100),$ what is the vitamin A concentration in a sample whose absorbance at $325 \mathrm{nm}$ is $A=0.735$ in a cell with a pathlength of $1.00 \mathrm{cm} ?$

Key Concepts

Concentration

Concentration refers to the amount of a substance present in a given volume of solution, typically expressed in molarity (moles per liter). Using the Beer?Lambert Law, once the absorbance, ?, and pathlength are known, the unknown concentration can be calculated by rearranging the formula to c = A/(? × l).

Pathlength

Pathlength is the distance that light travels through the sample in a cuvette, most commonly measured in centimeters. It influences the degree of absorption and is directly proportional to the absorbance in the context of the Beer?Lambert Law.

Beer?Lambert Law

The Beer?Lambert Law is a fundamental principle in spectrophotometry which relates the absorbance of light by a solution to the properties of the solution. It is expressed as A = ? × c × l, where A is the measured absorbance, ? is the molar absorptivity, c is the concentration, and l is the pathlength. This law is key for determining an unknown concentration of a substance in solution.

Absorbance

Absorbance is a unitless measure of how much light is absorbed by a solution at a specific wavelength. In spectrophotometry, it is used to quantify the concentration of the absorbing chemical species whereby higher absorbance typically indicates a greater concentration of the substance.

Molar Absorptivity

Molar absorptivity, often denoted by ?, is a proportionality constant that indicates how strongly a substance absorbs light at a particular wavelength per molar concentration and per unit pathlength. Its unit is usually L/(mol·cm), and it is critical in the application of the Beer?Lambert Law.
