A sample of sodium phosphate is dissolved in water to give 100.00 mL of solution (Solution A). Then this solution is diluted 5 times to give the final solution (Solution B). Solution B is Known to contain 3.920 × 1022 number of PO43- ions, which has an absorption peak at 460 nm and absorbance value of 0.355 in a 1.000 cm cuvette. (i) Calculate the molar absorptivity of Solution B. (ii) What mass of sodium phosphate (MM 163.94 g/mol) dissolved in Solution A.
