Beers law: A = elc
A = absorbance
e = extinction
l= path length
c = concentration
c = A/el = 1.86 / 3200 x1 = 0.000581 M

asked 03/02/22The dye molecule 7-aminocoumarin has an extinction coefficient of 3,200M-1cm-1 at 432nm. An aqueous sample of 7-aminocoumarin is placed in a cuvette with a 1.00cm path length and the absorbance is found to be 1.86 at 432nm. What is the molarity of 7-aminocoumarin in this sample? Report your answer to 6 decimal places. (The first few should be zeros...)
NOTE: The terms "extinction coefficient" and "molar absorptivity" are interchangeable; both refer to the "epsilon" term in Beer's Law.
