Question

1. Determine the concentration of the pure ASA in the 10.0mL of 1 M NaOH in mg/mL using the Beer's law plot. Then calculate the mass (in mg) of pure ASA knowing that two consecutive dilutions were done to prepare the solution

Explanation / Answer

Use the regression equation to find out the concentration of the dilute ASA in the sample. The dilute solution of the prepared ASA recorded an absorbance of 0.601. Put y = 0.601 in the regression equation and obtain

0.601 = 8.935x + 0.0346

====> 8.935x = 0.601 – 0.0346 = 0.5664

====> x = 0.5664/8.935 = 0.06339 0.0634

The concentration of prepared ASA in 10.0 mL of 1 M NaOH solution is 0.0634 mg/mL (ans).

I need to know the dilutions to find out the mass of pure ASA (ans).
