Question

The molar absorptivities of compounds X and Y were measured with pure samples of each:

                  ε (M-1 cm-1)

 λ (nm)       X           Y

      272    16,440    3,870

      327      3,990     6,420

A mixture of compounds X and Y in a 1.00-cm cell had an absorbance of 0.957 at 272 nm and 0.559 at 327 nm. Find the concentrations of Y in the mixture.
