2) You have 25 ml of an ATP solution. You take 30 µl and dilute to a final volume of 10 ml. The absorbance of this solution is 0.432. What is the concentration of the undiluted ATP solution? (molar extinction coefficient = 15,400 M-1cm-1).
If you could upload image the solution you worked out on paper, that would be preferred.
2)
Absorbance = molar absorptivity x concentration x path length
assuming path length = 1 cm
we get,
concentration of diluted ATP solution = absorbance/molar absorptivity
= 0.432/15,400
= 2.80 x 10^-5 M
This is the concentration of 10 ml solution containing 30 uL (0.03 ml) of orginal solution
So,
concentration of original ATP solution = 2.8 x 10^-5 M x 10 ml/0.03 ml
= 9.33 x 10^-3 M
