Best Answer

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.

Why molar extinction coifficient of KMNO4 is much higher than that of CoCl2?

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

How do we determine molar extinction coefficient using standard plots?

In the beginning, no you need not cull the special coefficient


Could you please define the extinction coefficient?

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).

How is the number of moles of an element determined from the known mass?

The molar mass is the measurement of mass per one mole of a substance. If the mass of a matter is known, divide it from the molar mass to obtain the number of moles.

What is the molarity if the absorbance is 0.6?

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.
