Question

A metal complex, [Y(NH3)6]n+, gives a purple color. Suppose that Y is an unknown metal. A 0.0000258 M standard solution was scanned using UV-vis spectrometer, and the data collected is in Image 1.

Four more standard solutions were also scanned at a lambda max which is related to the puple color. The data for this is in Image 2.

1. Determine the lambda max used to read the solutions. How was this obtained?

2. Determine the molar absorptivity coefficient of the metal complex at lambda max using the 5 standard solutions. (Suppose that path length = 1 cm)
