Question:

A 2.0-mm cell was filled with a solution of benzene in a non-absorbing solvent. The concentration of the benzene was 0.010 mol dm−3 and the wavelength of the radiation was 256 nm (where there is a maximum in the absorption). Calculate the molar absorption coefficient of benzene at this wavelength given that the transmission was 48 per cent. What will the transmittance be in a 4.0-mm cell at the same wavelength?
