Question

Transcribed Image Text:Specific absorbance is the absorbance of a 1% solution of a given substance. The specific
absorbance can be calculated by:
A
1%
ст
C(i %
,
For the identification of a substance, 0.0482 g of substance has been weighed, which has been
dissolved in 50.00 ml of demineralized water. Thereafter, 50.0 µl of this solution has been
diluted to 50.00 ml. a UV-wise analysis (A = 249 nm) of this dilution gave an absorbance of 0.925.
a) Calculate the concentration of the diluted solution in% (w/v).
b) Calculate the specific absorbance of the substance.
c) Will it be possible to measure the specific absorbance directly on a 1% solution? Why / why not?
