A chromate πΆπ‘Ÿπ‘‚4 βˆ’2 solution has an absorbance of 1.534 when the cell length is 1.5 cm. If the molar absorptivity of chromate ion is 5.21 Γ— 103 π‘€βˆ’1 π‘π‘šβˆ’1 , calculate the concentration of chromate ion.

I don't know your problem here but it appears to me to be a plug and chug problem.
A = abc
A = 1.534
a = 5210
b = 1.5
c = ?
Substitute and solve for c. The units for c will be mols/L since a is the molar absorptivity constant.
thank you dr bob, i get the answer.
