Question
Question 18 options:
Now, let's analyze a substance different from DNA. You have a solution made from the hypothetical substance Z. The constant for substance Z at a wavelength of 600nm is 80 ng of substance Z/μL of solution. Write the equation that you should use to determine the concentration of substance Z if you are given an A600.
Hint: An equation "equates" two entities. If you do not include two things separated by an "=", then you have not written an equation -- you will have simply written a mathematical operation.
Question 19 (2 points)
Using the equation from the previous problem, determine the concentration of substance Z if the A600 is measured to be 0.59.
You may copy/paste the following to indicate "micro"- μ. Please give your answer to one decimal place.

**Question 18:**
To determine the concentration of substance Z based on its absorbance (A600) at 600 nm, you can use Beer-Lambert Law, which relates absorbance to concentration. The equation can be written as:
\[ A600 = k \times C \]
where:
- \( A600 \) = Absorbance at 600 nm
- \( k \) = constant for substance Z (in units of ng/μL per absorbance unit)
- \( C \) = concentration of substance Z (in ng/μL)
To find the concentration \( C \), you can rearrange the equation:
\[ C = \frac{A600}{k} \]
Given that the constant \( k \) for substance Z is 80 ng/μL, the equation becomes:
\[ C = \frac{A600}{80} \]
---
**Question 19:**
Now, using the equation for concentration derived from Question 18:
Given \( A600 = 0.59 \),
The concentration \( C \) can be calculated as follows:
\[ C = \frac{0.59}{80} \]
\[ C = 0.007375 \, \text{ng/μL} \]
To express the answer to one decimal place:
\[ C = 0.0 \, \text{ng/μL} \] (since 0.007375 rounded to one decimal place is 0.0)
So, your answer for Question 19 is **0.0 ng/μL**.
