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.
