A = ebc
A = 0.52
e = 12,600
b = 1 cm
Solve for c = concentration in mols/L.
A solution of 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one in ethanol shows an absorbance of 0.52 at 236 nm in a cell with a 1-cm light path. Its molar absorptivity in ethanol at that wavelength is 12,600 M^-1 cm^-1. What is the concentration of the compound?
