In Chapter, we show that quantitative molecular absorption spectrometry is based on Beer’s law, which can be written

−log T = εbcX

where T is the transmittance of a solution of an analyte X, b is the thickness of the absorbing solution, cX is the molar concentration of X, and e is an experimentally determined constant. By measuring a series of standard solutions of X, εb was found to have a value of 3312(±12) M−1, where the number in parentheses is the absolute standard deviation.

An unknown solution of × was measured in a cell identical to the one used to determine εb. The replicate results were T = 0.213, 0.216, 0.208, and 0.214. Calculate

(a) the molar concentration of the analyte cX,

(b) the absolute standard deviation of the cX, and

(c) the coefficient of variation of cX.
