Solution Summary

The solution uses the relevant law to calculate the concentration of [Mn(h20)6]2+ necessary to give an absorbance of 0.10 in a cell of path length 1.00 for the absorbtion band described in clear steps as well as providing a proof of the formula below.

Solution Preview

molar absorptivity a = 0.038 mol-1 cm-1
absorbance A = 0.10
path length b = 1.00 cm
concentration c(mol/L) = ?

Because,by Beer-Lambert Law

A = a * b * c
=> c = A/(a*b) = 0.1/(0.038*1.00) = 2.63 mol/Litre ...
