Question

23. How do you set up and solve absorbance problems like this?

Item 23: Question
In its protonated form, bromothymol blue has a molar absorptivity of 13800 M²¹ cm ²¹ at 435 nm.
At the same wavelength, the deprotonated form of bromothymol blue has a molar absorptivity of
3410 M¹ cm ¹. If a solution contains 2.80 x 105 M protonated bromothymol blue and 5.00 x 10
5 M deprotonated bromothymol blue, what is the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00-cm sample
cell at 435 nm?
0.228
0.557
0.785
1.34
