Assume for the following situations that Beer’s law remains linear. For (a) and (b), indicate whether the extinction coefficient ε, path length b, or concentration C is changing, and how it will change the absorbance of the solution. (a) A sample is moved from a test tube that is 1.0 cm wide to a test tube that is 1.5 cm wide. 4 (b) A sample is diluted by adding enough solvent to double its volume. (c) A solution of iron (III) chloride appears brown when in high enough concentrations. In a 1.0 cm cuvet, the absorbance of 334 nm light by a 5.4 × 10−4 M solution of FeCl3 is measured to be 1.05. What is the extinction coefficient of the FeCl3 complex at this wavelength?
