The cis and trans isomers of [CoCl(en), SCN]* both have molar absorptivities of 175 L·mol-¹.cm¯ at 540 nm. In an experiment, the absorbance of a solution containing a mixture of cis- and trans-[CoCl(en)SCN]* was measured at 540 nm in a cuvette with a 1.00 cm path length. The resulting absorbance was 0.240. Determine the total concentration of [CoCl(en), SCN]+ somers in units of moles per liter. total concentration: mol.L-1
