Question

1. Calculate the molarity of the metal ion in each solutiondescribed below. A) 5.00mL of 0.400M CuSO4 is added to 15.0mLH2O B) 10.00mL of 0.200 M AgNO3 is added to 10.0mLH2O 2. What is a Beer's law graph? Should the line be drawnthrough the point (0,0)? Explain. 1. Calculate the molarity of the metal ion in each solutiondescribed below.

Explanation / Answer

A) 5 mL *0.4 M / (5 + 15 mL) = 0.1 M B) 10 mL *(0.2 M) / (10 + 10 mL) = 0.1 M 2) Absorbace versus concentration, A = eps*b*c, eps = molar extinction coefficient (specific to species) b = path length of cell (distance light travels through sample) c = concentration Theoretically, A = 0 when c = 0. So it should be at origin.However,you might get background absorbance (from the cell or solvent)
