4. A new compound X has been made, and a 5 x 10-4 Molar solution of it gives an absorbance of 0.405 at the maximum absorbance of 265 nm. The path length of the UV cell is 0.5cm. Use Beer’s Law to calculate the Molar Absorptivity coefficient of Compound X at this wavelength, quoting the correct units.

1620 cm⁻¹·M⁻¹

Explanation:

Beer's Law states that:

A = ε * b * C

Where A is the absorbance, ε is the Molar Absorptivity coefficient, b is the path length, and C is the molar concentration.

Use the given data:

0.405 = ε * 0.5 cm * 5x10⁻⁴ M

And solve for ε:

ε = 1620 cm⁻¹·M⁻¹

So the Molar Absorptivity coefficient of Compound X at this 265 nm is 1620 cm⁻¹·M⁻¹.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
