You have carried out an experiment using the spectrophotometry concept. A solution containing compound X is mixed with reagent 1 and then reagent 2. This mixture produces a blue colour whose absorbance (A) could be read at 550 nm. The results are shown below. If the standard solution (compound X) used have a concentration of 1 mM: 1. Calculate the quantity of the standard compound X in μmoles for each test tube (1-7).

Question

You have carried out an experiment using the spectrophotometry concept. A solution
containing compound X is mixed with reagent 1 and then reagent 2. This mixture produces a
blue colour whose absorbance (A) could be read at 550 nm. The results are shown below.

If the standard solution (compound X) used have a concentration of 1 mM:
1. Calculate the quantity of the standard compound X in μmoles for each test tube (1-7).
