Blue dye can be decolorized by treatment with bleach. The kinetics of the reaction can be studied by testing the absorbance of the solution over time. At the start of an experiment, the blue dye had a concentration of 9.05 × 10–6 M and an absorbance of 0.70 at the observed maximum wavelength. The path length of the cell is 1.00 cm. What is the molar absorptivity of the blue dye?
