Erioglucine is a blue­colored dye that absorbs its complementary color, red, in aqueous solution around 645 nm. Unfortunately, the local distilled water supply is consistently contaminated with a trace amount of a metal cation that also absorbs 645 nm light. Suppose then, a control sample of 0.0552 M erioglucine (aq; same water supply) has an absorbance of 0.331 and that a distilled water sample in a similar cuvette has an absorbance of 0.019. Determine the concentration of an erioglucine (aq) sample (same water supply) that has an absorbance of 0.237. Concentration: _____ M

Solutions

Expert Solution

According to Beer's law, absorbance (A) is as calculated as follow

A = c l

= molar absorptivity, c = concentration and l = length of sample tube

For a substance at two different concentration will remain same and l will be remain same.

Therefore we can write as A1/A2 = c1 /c2

A1 = 0.331 , c1 = 0.0552 and A2 = 0.237

From this equation unknown concentration can be calculated.

c2= c1 x A2 /A1 = 0.0552 x 0.237 / 0.331 = 0.0395 M

Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs weakly in the red (hence its red color) and strongly in the near infrared, whereas deoxygenated hemoglobin has the opposite absorption. This fact is used in a "pulse oximeter" to measure oxygen saturation in arterial blood. The device clips onto the end of a person's finger and has two light-emitting diodes—a red (632 nm) and an infrared (930 nm)—and a photocell that detects the amount of light transmitted through the finger at each wavelength.
