The kinetics of hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) under certain conditions of temperature, pH, type of buffer and strength ionic, can be followed by multicomponent spectrophotometry. When performing a calculation of optical constants, the following data were obtained:

Solution

C. mg/100 mL

A in λ (276nm)

A in λ (290nm)

Ac. acetylsalicylic ( AAS)

0.202

0.102

0.031

Ac. salicylic (AS)

0.198

0.158

0.101

Reaction: AAS + H2O → AS + CH3COOH

In a kinetic study, after a certain time, 1 mL of the solution was taken from the reactor and diluted to 10 mL with water. distilled. Then when proceeding to the spectrophotometric measurement, the last solution presented the absorbances of 0.244 and 0.102 for the lengths of 276 and 290 nm respectively.

What are the concentrations of ASA and AS in mg/L, at that instant in the reactor?

Note: Acetic acid does not absorb at either wavelength.
