Oxy-myoglobin was measured at wavelength of 417 nm with molar absorptivity of 12,800 M^-1cm^-1. Met-myoglobin was measured at wavelength of 409 nm with molar absorptivity of 17,900 M^-1cm^-1. In 10.0 g of meat (3.0 mL of total solution) the absorbance of oxy-myoglobin was 0.769 using a 1 cm cell and the met-myoglobin was 0.346. Find the moles of oxy-myoglobin and the met-myoglobin per gram of meat.

Solutions

Expert Solution

A = ECl

A = absorbance

E = molar absorptivity ,

C = concentration of material =

l = length of sample tube = 1 cm

Concentration of Oxy-myoglobin = A/El

= 0.769/(12,800*1)

= 6.008*10^-5 M

Concentration of met-myoglobin = 0.346(17900*1)

= 1.933*10^-5 M

No of moles of Oxy-myoglobin in 10 grams sample

= M* V = 6.008*10^(-5)*0.003 = 1.8024*10^-7 mole

no of moles in 1 gram meat = 1.8024*10^-7/10 = 1.8024*10^-8 mole

No of moles of met-myoglobin in 10 grams sample

= M* V = 1.933*10^(-5)*0.003 = 5.799*10^-8 mole

no of moles in 1 gram meat = 5.799*10^-8/10 = 5.799*10^-9 mole

1) The equation A=Ebc directly relates the concentration of a sample, its molar absorptivity (E), and the absorbance of a sample. Instead of bothering with a standard curve, why not make two measurements: first, measure the absorbance of a sample of known concentration in order to compute the molar absorptivity. Second, measure the absorbance of the solution with unknown concentration and use the molar absorptivity from the first to calculate the concentration. Explain why this would, or would not, be...
