A phenol standard with a concentration of 4.00 ppm has an absorbance of 0.424 at a wavelength of 460 nm using a 1.00-cm cell. A water sample is steam-distilled, and a 50.00-mL aliquot of the distillate is placed in a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with distilled water. The absorbance of this solution is found to be 0.394. What is the concentration of phenol (in parts per million) in the water sample?

The determination of iron in wines was carried out by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, using the standard addition method. To do this, 10 mL of wine were placed in five 50 mL volumetric flasks; then 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mL of a 10 ppm iron standard solution were added to each of them. Next, they were gauged with distilled water and the absorbance was measured, obtaining the values of 0.040, 0.062, 0.081, 0.102 and 0.125 respectively. Calculate the regression parameters and obtain the iron concentration in the wine, in µg / mL.
A 131.7 mg sample of powdered Carbamazepine tablets was boiled with ethanol, filtered and then made up to 100 mL with ethanol. 5 mL of this solution was then diluted to 250 mL with ethanol and the absorbance at 285 nm found to be 0.486 in a 1cm path length cell.Calculate the content (% m/m) of Carbamazepine in the powder, taking A(1%, 1 cm) as 490.(State your answer to 1 decimal place and include the units)
If the apparent molar absorptivity of cefuroxime sodium is 2.046 × 103 L mol−1 cm−1 in a 1-cm cuvette, at what concentration should the standard and sample solutions be prepared to result to an ideal absorbance value of 0.500? Show your solution.
A 10.00 mL of natural water sample containing Ni2+ was pipetted into a volumetric flask and diluted to 50.00 mL with pure water. In the second 10.00 mL of natural water sample transferred into a volumetric flask, exactly 4.00 mL of a Ni2+ solution with a concentration of 5.99 mg/L was added and then diluted to 50.00 mL with pure water. The measured absorbance is A1= 0.436 and A2 = 0.663. What is the Ni2+ concentration in unit of mg/L in the natural water sample?
Nitrite ion, NO2-, is a preservative for bacon and other foods, but it is potentially carcinogenic. A spectrophotometric determination of NO2- makes use of the following reactions: A 5.00 cm cell was used to measure absorbance. Here is an abbreviated procedure for the determination. 1. To 50.0 mL of unknown solution containing nitrite is added 1.00 mL of sulfanilic acid solution. 2. After 10 min, 2.00 mL of 1-aminonapthalene solution and 1.00 mL of buffer are added. 3. After 15 min, the absorbance is read at 520 nm in a 5.00-cm cell. The following solutions were annaylzed: A. 50.0 mL of food extract known to contain no nitrite(that is a neglible amount); final absorbance =0.153 B. 50.0 mL of food extract suspected of containg nitrite ; final absorbance= 0.622 C.

A standard solution was put through appropriate dilutions to give the concentrations of iron shown in the table that follows. The iron(II)-1,10-phenanthroline complex was then formed in 25.0-mL aliquots of these solutions, following which each was diluted to 50.0 mL.

A green solution containing Ni+2 ions absorbs 580 nm light. Undiluted, a sample of this solution sampled in a 1.00 cm diameter cuvette has an absorbance of 0.9765 a.u.. If the molar absorptivity coefficient for Ni+2 is 6.3 x 104 M -1 cm -1 at 580 nm, how much of the original stock Ni+2 solution (in mL) needs to be added to water to create a total dilute solution volume of 10.00 mL that measures an absorbance of 0.146 a.u. at 580 nm?
