Homework Statement


I am given a linear graph that is Absorbance vs. Concentration. How do I find epsilon in the beer's law equation?

Homework Equations


Beer's law: A = Epsilon x L x c

The Attempt at a Solution


I just need a general explanation. Thanks.
 
  • #2
Absorbance vs. Concentration
A = Epsilon x L x c
Gee. Let me think. What do those symbols and letters mean/stand for?
 
  • #3
Hint:
A = εbc ⇔ y = mx + b

Hint 2: Because the b term (y-intercept) throws many off. What would the absorbance be if C = 0?
