3a. If the molar absorptivity constant for the red dye solution is 5.56×104 M-1 cm-1 , calculate the molarity of the red dye solution with absorption = 0.900. You may assume L = 1.22cm. Hint: A=εLC

b. Convert the molarity in part a to w/v%. Show your work. Molar mass of FD&C red #3 = 879.86g/mol w/v% is defined as weight (in grams) of solute/100 mL of solution You should remember that w/v% always refers to the grams of materials in 100mL of solution. ppm is defined as mg of solute/ L of solution (1mg = 10-3 g) ppb is defined as µg of solute / L of solution (1µg = 10-6 g)

c. If you want to dilute the red dye solution in part a by 5 times in a single dilution step, explain in two sentences on how one should proceed with the dilution. In addition, what is the final concentration of the diluted solution? Show your work for the numerical part of this question. You are only allowed to use a 5-mL volumetric pipet, a 10-mL volumetric pipet, a 50-mL volumetric flask and/or a 100-mL volumetric flask during the dilution. You may NOT reuse the same pipet during the dilution.
