AP Chemistry
3.13 Beer-Lambert Law
A student prepares a solution of a tracer dye used to monitor water flow. The student obtains the following data at the wavelength of maximum absorbance.
The Beer-Lambert relationship is \(A=\varepsilon bc\), where \(\varepsilon\) is the molar absorptivity. What is the molar absorptivity of the dye?
| Dye concentration | Cuvette path length | Absorbance |
|---|---|---|
| \(2.00 \times 10^{-5}\text{ M}\) | \(2.00\text{ cm}\) | \(0.800\) |
