at 500 nm, what mass of it will you need to create 100. mL of a solution that
has an absorbance of 1.0 in a 1.0 cm cuvette?
2. Will you be able to accurately measure that mass using a top-loading balance? Why or
why not?
3. What about with an analytical balance? Why or why not?

4. Considering this amount you would have to weigh out for a dilution to 100 mL in volu-
metric glassware, propose another volume to dilute to that might be easier to execute. Is
this volume practical considering you only need
∼
1 mL of the final solution to check its
absorbance at 500 nm?
5. If you think the molar absorptivity of this food dye is representative of most dyes at their
respective
λ
max
, do you think most dyes can be accurately weighed as a dry powder and
diluted in a single step using common volumetric glassware to achieve an absorbance value
in the linear range of a spectrophotometer? Would your answer be different if you were
aiming for an absorbance value of 0.1 instead of 1.0?
As part of your notebook preparation, create a diagram similar to Figure 5.4 for creating
the absorbance 1.0 solution of Allura Red based on your answers to the pre-lab assignment.

1. If Beer's Law is valid, the value of "E" should be constant. Use A = E*C*L or E=
A/(E*L) and the data from Table II to calculate values of E for the five solutions below
The value of L is normally 1 cm so E = A/C in this experiment.
