The student places a sample of the solution in a cuvette that has a path length of 0.50 cm and places it in a spectrophotometer set to measure absorbance at 440 nm. (Cr 2O72 − (aq) is the only species in the reaction mixture that absorbs light at th is wavelength.) The absorbance of Cr 2O72 − (aq) in the solution is monitored as the reaction proceeds; the table below shows the abso rbance as a function of time for the first trial. Time (min) Absorbance at 440 nm 0.00 0.782 1.50 0.553 3.00 0.389 4.50 0.278 6.00 0.194 (d) Calculate the value of [Cr 2O7 2 − ] at 1.50 min. (e) The student runs a second trial but this time uses a cuvette that has a path length of 1.00 cm. Describe how the experimental setup should be ad justed to keep the initial absorbance at 0.782 . Justify your answer with respect to the factors that influence the absorbance of a sample in a spectrophotometer. For the concentrations of reactants used in the experiment, the rate of the reaction can be written as follows. Rate = k observed [Cr 2O72 − ]y, where k observed = k[C 2H5OH] (f) Explain how the experimental data indicate th at the reaction is first order with respect to 2 −Cr 2O7 .
