Explanation:
Question is incomplete, so in picture 1, you have a sample of this question with the missing data.
Now, in general terms, the absorbance of a substance can be calculated using the beer's law which is the following:
A = εlc
Where:
ε: molar absortivity
l: distance of the light in solution
c: concentration of solution
However, in this case, we have a plot line and a equation for this plot, so all we have to do is replace the given data into the equation and solve for x, which is the concentration.
the equation according to the plot is:
A = 15200c - 0.018
So solving for C for an absorbance of 0.25 is:
0.25 = 15200c - 0.018
0.25 + 0.018 = 15200c
0.268 = 15200c
c = 0.268/15200
c = 1.76x10⁻⁵ M
