The following data were obtained at various wavelengths for a 3.6 ´ 10–4 M solution of permanganate in a cell with a path length of 1.00 cm. (Table is in attached)   (a)   Plot an absorption spectrum for permanganate using these data. (b) From the absorption spectrum obtained,   determine the wavelength that permanganate has the strongest absorption. (c) Estimate the molar absorptivity (with proper unit) of permanganate at the absorption maximum. (d) A sample solution containing permanganate gives a %T of 40.0 at the absorption maximum. What is the concentration of permanganate in the sample?
