1) When measured in a 1.00 cm cuvet, a 9.45×10-4 M solution of species A exhibited absorbances of 0.155 and 0.687 at 450 nm and 725 nm, respectively. A 2.65×10-3 M solution of species B gave absorbances of 0.613 and 0.078 at 450 nm and 725 nm, respectively. Both species were dissolved in the same solvent, and the solvent's absorbance was 0.007 and 0.002 at 450 nm and 725 nm, respectively.
a) Calculate the molar absorptivities for species A.
b) Calculate the molar absorptivities for species B.
c) Calculate the concentrations of A and B in a solution that yielded the following

a) Calculate the molar absorptivities for species A.
According to Beer Lambert's Law,
A = eCl
Where A = absorption
e= molar absoptivity, c = concentration (M) and l = path length (length of Cuvet)(in cm)
so, at 450nm
since absorption of solvent is 0.007, therefore, absorption of A at 450nm = 0.155-0,007 = 0.148
A = ecl
Or e = A/cl = 0.148/ (9.45×10-4 M x ...
