Worked Example #2: You need to determine the concentration of an unknown solution of benzoic acid. You prepare the solutions below at the following concentrations and measure their absorbance at 230 nm. You also measure the absorbance of your unknown to be 0.3128 at 230 nm. What is the concentration of the unknown solution if the path length is 1.1 cm? Concentration (M) Absorbance 0.0005 0.0003 0.0002 0.00007 0.00004 1.0584 0.6605 0.3535 0.2057 0.1033
