The intensity of the radiation is reduced to 22 per cent of its initial value (so T = 0.22). (a) Calculate the absorbance and the molar absorption coefficient of the benzene. (b) What would be the transmittance through a cell of thickness 3.0 mm?

A Dubosq colorimeter consists of a cell of fixed path length and a cell of variable path length. By adjusting the length of the latter until the transmission through the two cells is the same. the concentration of the second solution can be inferred from that of the former. Suppose that a plantdye of concentration 25 μg dm-3 is added to the fixed cell. the length of which is 1.55 em. Then a solution of the same dye. but of unknown concentration. is added to the second cel l. It is found that the same t ransmittance is obtained when the length of the second cel l is adjusted to 1.18 em. What is the concentration of the second solution?
