Do the following calculations using a stock standard Alphazurine solution of 1.454 x 10–4 M.
1. A 10.00 mL sample of this solution is diluted to 100.0 mL in a volumetric flask.
Determine the concentration of the working standard.
2. Calculate the concentration of a dilution made by mixing 2.00 mL of working standard
with 6.00 ml of distilled water in a large test tube
3. Calculate the absorbance of the dilution prepared in Question #2 if the Spec 20 is set to a
baseline of 98.0 %T and the dilution reads 41.3 %T.
4. A Beer’s Law calibration plot for Alphazurine produced a linear regression equation of
y = 97927x + 0.0198. An unknown solution of Alphazurine is found to have an average%T of 26.9% when the baseline is set to 98.0%T. Calculate the molarity of the unknown
solution.
5. Keep in mind that the slope of the regression equation is equal to “ab” in the Beer’s law
equation of A = abc + intercept. What is the absorptivity, “a” if the pathlength is 1.00
cm?
Explanation / Answer
1. 10ml of stock solution is diluted to 100ml, so 10 time diluted and the final concentration 1.454×10^-4M/10 = 1.454 × 10^-5M
2. 2ml of working std is mixed with 6 ml of distilled water , so dilution is 2ml/8ml = 4 and the concentration is 1.454 × 10^-5M/4 = 3.64 ×10^-6M
3.Absorbance = 2 - log(41.3)
= 0.384
4. y =97927 x + 0.0198
where y = absorbance
x = concentration
Transmittance given as 26.9 and corresponding absorbance is 2- log(26.9) = 0.570
substituting the absorbance value in linear equation we can get concentration
x = (0.570- 0.0198)/97927
= 5.62 × 10^-6MM
5. y = 97927× + 0.0198
Where , ab = 97927
a = molar absorptivity
b = bath length , 1.00cm
Therefore, a = 97927/1.00 = 97927 L/mol cm
