32. Carbon monoxide (CO) can be determined at trace levels using IR absorption spectrophotometry. Using a cm pathlength gas cell, a standard containing 10.0 ppm CO gave an absorbance of at 2170 cm-1. Calculate the concentration (ppm) of a gas sample.
PROBLEM SOLVING

33. Molar absorptivity data for the cobalt and nickel complexes with 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol are: A g sample was dissolved and diluted to 50 mL. A 25.0 mL aliquot was treated to eliminate interferences; after addition of 2,3-quinaxalinedithiol, the volume was adjusted to 50.0 mL. This solution has absorbance of at 510 nm and at 656nm. Calculate the ppm of Ni and Co in the sample.
