Question

0.122 mg of Crystal Violet you synthesized was dissolved in 100 ml of solvent. The absorbance was found to be 0.209, what is the purity of the Crystal Violet you synthesized?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The expression of the absorbance is shown below:

A = logI0I

where;

A = absorbance

I0 = initial intensity

I = transmitted intensity

Step 2

The calculation of percentage of transmitted light is shown below:

logI0I = 0.209I0I = 1.618II0 = 0.618I = 61.8% I0
