The equations used here :
A = εCl , where A = Absorbance, ε = Molar absorptivity constant, C = concentration (in Molarity) and l = path length
Also, if I0 = intensity of incident light, It= Intensity of transmitted light, then:
Also, Absorbance (A) = , and ,
Percent Transmittance (%T) = [Trasmittance
is generally expressed in percentage]
Combining absorbance and %T :
So,
Or, A = 2 – log(%T) [ Using the relations : log (a/b) = log(a) – log(b) and log(10x) =x, so log(100) = log(102) = 2]

(a)
Take the standard solution. Equation : A = εCl
Here, A = 0.0621 , C = 2.10 x 10-2 M , l = 0.500 cm
So, 0.0621 = (ε)( 2.10 x 10-2 M)( 0.500 cm)
Solving, ε =5.914 M-1 cm-1
(b)
The value of ε is constant for a given solution. So, ε for unknown = ε of standard =5.914 M-1 cm-1
A = 0.0314 , l = 0.500 cm
Putting the values in A = εCl :
0.0314= (5.914 M-1 cm-1)(C)( 0.500 cm)
Solving, C = 0.0106 M = 1.06 x 10-2 M
(c)
Here, formula is : A = 2-log(%T)
For standard, A = 0.0621
So, 0.0621 = 2-log(%T)
Or, %T = 86.67 %
(d)
A = 2-log(%T)
For unknown, A = 0.0314
So, 0.0314 = 2-log(%T)
Or, %T = 93.02%
(e)
A = εCl
ε =5.914 M-1 cm-1 , C = 2.10 x 10-2 M , l = 1.50 cm
A = (5.914 M-1 cm-1)(2.10x 10-2 M)(1.50 cm)
Or, A =0.186
