UV Visible Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy refers to the absorption or emission of light or other radiations by matter. When a substance or chemical absorbs light or radiation, they reach an excited state followed by de-excitation or emission of the light or radiation forming distinct spectra. UV-visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible refers to the absorption and emission in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Question

A solution containing a mixture of the compounds X and Y had an absorbance of 0.584 at 443 nm and an absorbance of 0.501 at 520 nm when measured with a 1.00 cm cell. The molar absorptivities (ε) of X and Y at each wavelength are shown in the table. What are the concentrations of X and Y in this mixture?

| Wavelength (λ, nm) | Molar Absorptivity (ε, M⁻¹cm⁻¹) |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| | X | Y |
| 443 | 15790 | 3725 |
| 520 | 3841 | 6.180×10³ |

In this setup, Beer's Law can be used to calculate the concentrations of compounds X and Y in the mixture. Beer's Law states:
\[ A = ε \cdot c \cdot l \]
where:
- \( A \) is the absorbance,
- \( ε \) is the molar absorptivity,
- \( c \) is the concentration,
- \( l \) is the path length of the cell (1.00 cm in this case).

The information provided will help determine the concentrations of X and Y based on their unique absorbance at given wavelengths.
