Question
b) Helen performed an experiment with Fe(SCN)2+ complex at 580 nm. Calculate the percent
transmittance of 4.47 x 105 M of Fe(SCN)2+ complex using a 1.00 cm cuvette. Given
molar absorptivity of Fe(SCN)²+ complex at 580 nm is 7.00 x 10³ L cm³¹ mol¹¹. Determine
the new percent transmittance if the cuvette is replaced with a 2.50 cm cell and
concentration of the complex is decreased by half.
c) A testing lab received an unknown water sample sent for phenol analysis. Anna, the
chemist prepared the water sample according to USEPA method. Unknown water sample
is first steam-distilled and a 50 mL aliquot of the distillate was diluted with distilled water
in a 100 mL volumetric flask. She performed spectrophotometry analysis at 460 nm using
a 1.00 cm cuvette. A 4 ppm phenol standard recorded absorbance reading of 0.424 while
unknown water sample recorded 0.394. Calculate the initial concentration of phenol (in
ppm or mg/L) of unknown water sample.
