Answer:
Molar absorptivity or molar extinction co-effecient = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹
Explanation:
First convert Concentration from ppm inM or mol/l
⇒ Molar mass of KMnO₄ = 158.03 g
⇒ 4.48 ppm = 4.48 mg/l = 4.48 x 10⁻³ g/l
⇒ Molarity = = 2.83 x 10⁻⁵ molar
Absorbance (A) = - log(T) ( T = % transmittance)
= - log(0.859)
= 0.06
According to Lambert Beer's law
ε =
or, ε =
or, ε = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹
Where
ε = Molar absorptivity
A = absorbance
C = Molar concentration of KMnO₄ solution
l = length
This problem is providing the mass, energy, initial temperature and specific heat of a sample of copper that is required to calculate the final temperature.
Thus, we recall the general heat equation:
Which has to be solved for the final temperature, as follows:
Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:
However, this result is not given in the choices.
