The absorbance of a cationic iron(II) sample solution was measured
in a spectrophotometer, but the instrument returned an error
because the absorbance was too high. The sample was then diluted by
using a pipette to take 100.0
μL
of the sample and injecting it into a cuvette already containing
2.00
mL
of water (total volume is 2.00
mL
+ 100.0
μL).
The absorbance value of the diluted solution corresponded to a
concentration of 7.71×10−6
M . What was the concentration of the original
solution?
Express the concentration to three significant figures with the
appropriate units.
