Dopamine absorbs light at a λmax of 265 nm. A sample of dopamine (molar mass 153.18 g/mol) was prepared by dissolving 1.02 mg of dopamine in enough water to make a 500.00 mL sample. The UV absorbance at 280 nm was found to be 0.450 in a 1.500 cm cuvette. What is the molar absorptivity of dopamine in L mol-1 cm-1?

Absorbance measurements in the range of A = 0.3 - 2 are considered the most accurate. Why are absorbance measurements of 0.05 and 2.5 considered inaccurate? If the absorbance is too high (A = 2.5), the signal difference between the sample and the reference is too small for an accurate measurement. At A = 2.5, the transmission is too high for an accurate measurement. The difference in the absorbance of the sample and reference is too small at A = 0.05. At A = 2.5, the detector is saturated because too much light is reaching the detector. At A = 2.5, a sufficient amount of light does not reach the detector for an accurate measurement.

Atomic emission spectroscopy and the method of standard addition are used to determine the Na+ concentration and its uncertainty in an unknown sample. Increasing amounts of a 1.75 ug/mL standard Na+ solution are added to a series of volumetric flasks containing 15.00 mL of the unknown solution. The volumetric flasks are then diluted to a final volume of 200.0 mL. Atomic emission spectroscopy is then used to measure the emission intensity of each solution. Unknown volume Standard volume Final volume Emission (mL) (mL) (mL) intensity 15.00 0.00 200.0 351.0 15.00 5.00 200.0 494.0 15.00 10.00 200.0 642.0 15.00 15.00 200.0 807.0 15.00 20.00 200.0 948.0 Based on the data in the table, determine the original concentration of Nat and its uncertainty in the unknown sample.

What is the molar absorptivity of a 2.50 x 10-4 M solution if its absorbance at 550 nm is 0.500? The sample is placed in the standard 1-cm quartz cuvette. 2.00 x 10-3 M-1cm-1 5.00 x 10-4 M-1cm-1 2.00 x 103 M-1cm-1 1.25 x 10-4 M-1cm-1
Maria was tasked to determine the concentration of a Fe2(SO4)3 solution. She prepared 5 different standards of Fe2(SO4)3 using the table below as her guide. She ran the standards and the unknown solution through UV-VIS spectroscopy and recorded the absorbances of each solution. HINT: use the dilution equation to determine the concentration of Fe2(SO4)3 in each test tube before preparing the standard curve. NOTE: No need to force the line to pass through zero. Just graph the data as is. What is the slope of the line of the standard curve from the given data? What is the concentration of the unknown solution?
An absorbance calibration curve for Zn was fitted to equation A = 0.913×`Zn, ppm`. Flask 1: To the first flask, a 1.00 mL aliquot of the unknown Zn solution was diluted to 100.0 mL in a volumetric flask; the absorption intensity from this sample was measured to be A = 0.204. Flask 2: To a second flask, a 1.00 mL aliquot of the unknown Zn sample and a 1.00 mL aliquot of 10.00 ppm Zn solution were added and diluted to 100.0 mL in a volumetric flask; the absorbance of this sample was measured to be A = 0.294. Calculate the % spike recovery for the analysis and report to the nearest whole number. Hint: A=mC of the type y=mx, so C=A/m %Spike=100%((Cspike-Coriginal)/Cadded)) Cadded can be found from C1 V1=Cadded V2.
