A student used standard solutions of aspirin in a FeCl3-KCl-HCl mixture to plot a graph of molarity versus absorbance for diluted aspirin solutions of known concentration. The student determined the slope of the graph to be 4,129 M-1cm-1. Next the student measured out 0.29 grams of a headache medicine tablet and dissolved it in 10.0 ml of NaOH and then added enough water to make a 100 ml solution. Five ml of this solution was then added to another 100 ml flask and diluted to the mark with enough FeCl3-KCl-HCl mixture. The solution was then measured for absorbance as 0.343 Calculate the molarity of the diluted solution determined from the absorbency and the slope. Round your answer to 3 significant figures

Expert Solution

As we know that

Given;

Molar absorptivity constant = 4129 M^-1cm^-1

Absorbance of the solution measured = 0.343
Assume that path lenght = 1 cm

So,

According to Beer-Lambert Law:
A = ε * C * l

Then,

C=A/ε*I
0.343 = 4129 M^-1cm^-1 * C * 1 cm
Concentration C = 8.307* 10^-5 M

From the experiment, initially, 0.29 g of an aspirin tablet is dissolved in 10mL NaOH and diluted to 100 mL.
and then 5 mL of the solution is taken and diluted again with 100 mL.

Therefore,

The final aspirin solution concentration = the concentration determined from molar absorptivity constant.
= 8.307*10^-5M

Then,

From this, we go backward to find the concentration of aspirin in the sample from the dilution.

Initial V1 = 5 mL   

M1 = ?
final V2 = 100 mL   

M2 = 8.307 *10^-5M

M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = M2V2/V1

= (8.307 *10^-5M * 100 mL) / 5mL = 0.0016M

Then,

Again, this concentration is from 10 mL NaOH solution containing 0.29 g of aspirin.

So,

V1= 10 mL    

M1 =?
V2= 100mL

M2 = 0.0016 M

M1 = M2V2/V1

= (0.0016 M *100 mL) / 10mL = 0.016 M

Therefore,

0.29 g of asprin tablet in 10 mL solution, the concetration is = 0.016M

Hence,0.29 g of aspirin tablet in 10 mL solution gives you a concentration of 0.016 M

When the above solution is dissolved into 100

We get 0.0016 M solution.

Then,

Again, from the above solution we take 5mL and dissolved it into 100 mL

So,

The concentration of final dilution = 8.307* 10^-5M

When measuring the volumes of Fe(NO3)3 and NaSCN solutions in this experiment, the student mistakenly used a graduated cylinder instead of volumtetric pipets, After collecting all of the data, the student realized he'd used the wrong piece of equipment, but he didn't redo the experiment. Also, he later realized that he had consistenly misread the graduated cylinder and had thus transferred volumes that were actually 5% lower that the recorded volumes.
