Question

Suppose that a student collects the following spectrophotometric data to determine the relative concentrations of HMR and MR in solution:

The abosorbance at 425 nm was measured to be 0.320 and at 520 nm was 0.720, the slopes corresponding to standard Beer's Law plots were as follows:

αIA =	0.072	αIB =	0.306
αIIA =	0.760	αIIB =	0.036

Using this data, calculate the ratio between the relative concentrations of MR^- and HMR in this solution.
