The Beer-Lambert Law:A = epsilon*b*cA is absorbance (unitless)epsilon is the extinction coefficient at a particular wavelength (L cm-1 mol-1)b is the path length of the cuvette (cm)c is the concentration of the solution (mol/L)
One needs the extinction coefficient in order to answer this question. Otherwise it cannot be answered properly.
We would need to know the path length and the molar extinction coefficient to answer that question. If you know these, it's an extremely simple matter of Beer's Law and algebra.
The Beer-Lambert law Absorbance = (extinction coefficent)(pathlength of light)(concentration) allows you to measure the absorbance of sample in a UV spec, and change the rate from absorbance units / time to change in concentration / time. the pathlength of light being the width of the cuvette and the extinctin coefficent being specific to the product molecule.
its molar extinction coefficient is 0.6.
The extinction coefficient can refer to a few different measures how strongly a distinct medium absorbs light at a particular wavelength. The two most commonly referred to are molar absorptivity (which measures absorption per molar concentration) and the mass attenuation coefficient (which measures absorption per mass density).
The molar extinction coefficient (also sometimes called molar absorbtivity coefficient) is a measure of how strongly a solution of a substance absorbs light (the value depends on the particular wavelength of light used). By passing light through a solution and determining how much of the light is absorbed, you can use the path length and molar extinction coefficient to determine the concentration of the solution.Look up "Beer-Lambert law" if you want details.

Spectrophotometry is an important branch of spectroscopy that focuses on the technique of measurement. In this technique, the amount of light that a sample absorbs at a particular wavelength is measured and used to determine the concentration of the sample by comparison with appropriate standards or reference data. The most useful measure of light absorption is the absorbance (A), also commonly called the optical density (OD). The absorbance is defined as A = log I0 / I where I0 is the intensity of light that is incident on the sample and Iis the intensity of light that is transmitted by the sample. The absorbance of a sample can be related to the concentration of the absorbing species through Beer's law: A = ε cl where c is concentration, usually measured in moles per liter; l is the length of the light path, usually 1 cm; and ε is a proportionality constant known as the molar extinction coefficient, with the units of liters per mole per centimeter. The value of ε is a function of both the particular compound being measured and the wavelength.
In the beginning, no you need not cull the special coefficient
Molar extinction coefficient is depend on intensity of the colour of solution.If the solution has high intensity of colour, molar extinction coefficient is high.So when considering CoCl2 and KMnO4, CoCl2 has low colour intensity. KMnO4 solution has much intense purple colour.Therefore its Molar extinction coefficient is high. By-Tharindu Chathuranga Ariyathilaka/Sri Lanka
