Answer:

Molar absorptivity or molar extinction co-effecient = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹

Explanation:

First convert Concentration from ppm inM or mol/l

⇒ Molar mass of KMnO₄ = 158.03 g

⇒ 4.48 ppm = 4.48 mg/l = 4.48 x 10⁻³ g/l

⇒ Molarity = [tex]\frac{4.48 X10^{-3} }{158.03X 1(lit)}[/tex] = 2.83 x 10⁻⁵ molar

Absorbance (A) = - log(T)     ( T = % transmittance)

                          = - log(0.859)

                          = 0.06

According to Lambert Beer's law

     

                 ε = [tex]\frac{A}{C X l}[/tex]

      or,      ε = [tex]\frac{0.06}{2.83 X 10^{-5}X1 cm }[/tex]

      or,      ε = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹

Where

    ε = Molar absorptivity

    A = absorbance

    C = Molar concentration of KMnO₄ solution

     l = length  

Molar absorptivity of KMnO₄ at this wavelength is 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹

Given:

Molar mass of KMnO₄ = 158.03 g

4.48 ppm = 4.48 mg/l = 4.48 x 10⁻³ g/l

Molarity =  = 2.83 x 10⁻⁵ molar

Absorbance (A) = - log(T)     ( T = % transmittance)

(A) = - log(0.859)

(A) = 0.06

According to Lambert Beer's law:

[tex]A=E*l*c[/tex]

where,

E = Molar absorptivity

A = absorbance

c = Molar concentration of KMnO₄ solution

l = length  

On substituting the values:

[tex]A=E*l*c\\\\E =\frac{A}{c*l} \\\\E=\frac{0.06}{2.83*10^{-5}*1}\\\\E=2120.14 cm^{-1}M^{-1}[/tex]

Thus, Molar absorptivity of KMnO₄ at this wavelength= 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹.
