Compound Z absorbs light of wavelength 320 nm. A 1.0 x 10^-3 mol dm^-3 solution of a compound Z gives an absorbance reading of 0.15 when placed in a solution cell path 1 cm. What is the value of the molar extinction (absorption) coefficient of Z?

Answer: 150 mol^-1 dm^3 cm^-1
Explanation

The value of the molar extinction coefficient of compound Z is 150 mol-1 dm3 cm-1.
