The molar absorption coefficient of a substance dissolved in water is known to be 855 dm3mol-1cm-1 at 270 nm. To determine the rate of decomposition of this substance, a solution with a concentration of 3.25 mmol dm-3 was prepared. Calculate the percentage reduction in intensity when light of that wavelength passes through 2.5 mm of this solution.  Ans: 1.6%
