Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The weight of DNA in the given aqueous buffer has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Beer-Lambert’s law:
It is the law that is widely used to make quantitative analysis of samples in UV-Spectroscopy. This law establishes a relation between absorbance, concentration and path-length of the sample cell which is known as cuvette in UV-Spectroscopy. The expression of the law is shown here:

The weight of proteins or nucleic acids in solution is often determined by UV spectroscopy using the Beer-Lambert law. For example, the molar absorptivity, ɛ, of double-stranded
DNA at 260 nm is 6670 M'cm-!. The formula weight of the repeating unit in DNA (650 Daltons) can be used as the molecular weight.
What is the weight of DNA in 4.0 mL of aqueous buffer if the absorbance, measured in a 1-cm cuvette, is 0.35?
Choose the correct value from the drop-down list provided.
Weight of DNA:

A sample of drinking water is analyzed colorimetrically for ammonia nitrogen concentration. If the sample colour when viewed through a depth of 5.5 cm corresponds in intensity to a 1 mg/L standard sample when viewed through a depth of 40 cm, what is the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the sample?
Because of the sensitivity of mass spectrometry, it is often used to detect the presence
of drugs in blood, urine, or other biological fluids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (nominal
mass 314), a component of marijuana, exhibits two strong fragment ions at mlz 246
and 231 (the base peak). What is the likely structure of each ion?
