A 0.1 g amine-containing compound is dissolved in water then diluted to 100 mL. You subject it to spectroscopic analysis, in order to get the concentration of amine in this compound. Next, you get 1 mL of the previously diluted sample then dilute it again to 250 mL for measurement. Then, you fill 3/4 of a 1-cm cuvette with this diluted sample, and you run an analysis using an AAS. The recorded absorbance is 0.545 at 410 nm. What is the molecular weight of the compound? (The molar absorptivity is 1.23 x 104 cm-1 mol-1 L.)
