An ethanol solution of 3.5 mg/100 ml of compound Y (150.0 g/mol) in a 1.00 cm quartz cell has an absorbance (A) of 0.972 at λmax=235 nm. What is its molar extinction coefficient? Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures. Do not include units in your answer. I need to know what is the correct number of sig figs for this question which will determine what the correct answer is.
