The visible absorption spectrum for crystal violet, CV*, is shown in Figure 3. The concentration of the dye was 12.5 µM (12.5 x 106 M). What would be the optimum wavelength for generating a Beer's law calibration curve for crystal violet and measuring absorbance versus time for the reaction of CV* with OH? Explain your answer. Recall that absorbance measurements are most accurate and sensitive in the range 0.2-1.0.

Roberta decided to find out the content of nickel (Ni) in a sample. She dissolved the 0.0882 g sample in about 30 mL of nitric acid, and after adding an excess of 8- hydroxyquinolinol (HQL), she diluted the solution with deionized water to a final volume of 250 mL. This final solution showed an absorbance of 0.694 at 365 nm, the wavelength of maximal absorbance of the Ni (HQL) complex, when measured in a 1.00 cm cuvette. Knowing that the trendline from the calibration curve for the Ni(HQL) complex at 365 nm is y = 1500x + 0.029 and that the atomic mass of nickel is 58.693 g/mol, calculate the percent content of Ni by mass in the sample. What is the % nickel by mass in the sample? (a) 5.31 percent (b) 7.38 percent. (c) 7.70 percent. (d) 7.4 percent. (e) None of these

You want to determine the amount of iron(III) in acomplex salt. You make a 100.0 mL solution of the complex salt by dissolving 0.0670 g of complex salt with water to the mark on a 100.0 mL volumetric flask. You get an absorbance reading for the iron from the spectrometer of 0.334. The molar absorptivity is determined to be 17605 L/mole∙cm and the pathlength is 1.00 cm. Determine the molarity of iron(III) in solution. Determine the mass percentage of iron(III) in the complex salt.
The absorbance of 10 mL of 0.0005 M Co2+ solution is 0.35. 10 mL of this solution mixed with 10 mL of the sample solution produces an absorption of 0.52. Calculate the concentration of Co2+ in the sample
Absorbance measurements were taken on a series of Fe standards complexed with 1,10-phenanthroline. A plot of absorbance vs. concentration yielded a linear curve with the equation y=1.008e03x + 0.0395 (where y is the absorbance and x represents the Fe concentration in moles/L). Using this information calculate the Fe concentration (in ppm) in a 40.0-mL aliquot of ground water that produced an absorbance of 0.580.
