An unknown was prepared with the concentration of 0.000266 M. A Beer's Law plot was prepared using the absorbance values from standard solutions of ASA and a line drawn through all the points passed through the origin with a slope of 1646.3 M^–1.

What are the expected absorbance and %T values for the diluted aspirin solution prepared by the student?

This is cheating.

No it isnt

To determine the expected absorbance and %T values for the diluted aspirin solution, we need to use Beer's Law (also known as the Beer-Lambert Law). Beer's Law relates the concentration of a solution to its absorbance.

Beer's Law equation:
A = ε * b * c

Where:
A represents the absorbance of the solution.
ε is the molar absorptivity, which is a constant for a particular substance.
b is the path length of the cuvette in centimeters.
c is the concentration of the solution in moles per liter (M).

Given that the line in the Beer's Law plot passes through the origin with a slope of 1646.3 M^–1, we can determine the molar absorptivity (ε) of the substance, ASA, by dividing the slope by the path length (b) in centimeters.

ε = slope / b

Now, we can calculate the expected absorbance (A) and %T values for the diluted aspirin solution by substituting the concentration of the solution (0.000266 M) into the Beer's Law equation.

A = ε * b * c
A = ε * 1 (assuming a path length of 1 cm) * 0.000266 M

To calculate the %T value, we can use the formula:
%T = 100 - A

By substituting the calculated absorbance value (A) into the formula, we can determine the %T value for the diluted aspirin solution.

So, to summarize:

1. Calculate the molar absorptivity (ε) using the slope of the Beer's Law plot and the path length of the cuvette.
2. Substitute the concentration of the diluted aspirin solution into the Beer's Law equation to calculate the expected absorbance (A).
3. Calculate the %T value using the formula %T = 100 - A.

Remember, the expected absorbance and %T values are based on the given concentration, Beer's Law plot, and molar absorptivity.
