Question

1.) Beer's Law can be used to find the concentration of a solution by measuring its absorbance. The law is given by 

?=???A=ϵbC

Where A is the absorbance, ?ϵ is the molar absorptivity, b is the pathlength of the light (the width of the sample cell), and C is the concentration of the solution. 

A student is analyzing a solution of a metal, and finds that the absorbance of the solution is 0.532. If ?=187 L⋅g−1⋅cm−1ϵ=187 L⋅g−1⋅cm−1 and ?=1 cmb=1 cm , what is the concentration of the metal in solution (in g/L)?
