a) You measure the percent transmittance of a solution containing chromophore X at 400nm in a 1-cm path length cuvette and find it to be 50%. What is the absorbance of this solution? (b) What is the molar absorptivity of chromophore X if the concentration of X in the solution measured in question (a) is 0.5mM? (c) What is the concentration range of chromophore X that can be assayed if, when using a sample cell of path length 1, you are required to keep the aborbance between 0.2 and 0.8
