Question
Thienothiophene and sexithiophene are conjugated molecules used in printed organic electronics. A chlorobenzene solution of equal concentrations of the two molecules was prepared and its absorbance was recorded with a 0.01 cm sample cell to give 0.88 % transmittance (T) at 400 nm. Calculate the concentration of each of the molecules given that the molar absorption coefficient of the thienothiophene is 23,000 L.mol-1cm-1 and the sexithiophene is 34,000 L.mol-1cm-1. Remember that absorbance is additive.

- An aqueous solution of triphosphate derivative of molar mass 502 g per mol was prepared by dissolving 17.2 mg in enough water to make 500 cubic cm of solution and a sample was transferred to a cell of length 1 cm. The absorbance was measured as 1.011. Calculate the molar absorbance coefficient and the transmittance for a solution twice the concentration.arrow_forwardA student creates a sports drink by dissolving 5.0 g of powder in 250 mL of water. The green colour of the drink is due to the presence Green Dye X, which has a lambdamax of 630 nm. A calibration curve (absorbance versus concentration) at lambdamax is created for varying concentrations (mM) of Green Dye X which has the equation y = 26.8x. If 1.0 mL of the sports drink is diluted to 10. mL with water, then the absorbance is measured to be 0.340, what is the mass percent of Green Dye X in the drink powder if the molecular weight is 418.4 g mol-1?arrow_forwardDescribe how a deuterium lamp can be used to provide background correction for an atomic absorption spectrum.arrow_forward
