Answer:
Explanation:
A 1026 mg sample of sunscreen containing octocrylene was extracted with ethanol and the final volume of the solution was 25.0 mL. Using a 1 cm path length sample cell, the absorbance of the solution was determined to be 4.77 at 304 nm. The molar absorptivity of octocrylene in ethanol at this wavelength is 350 L mol–1 cm–1 and the molar mass of this compound is 361 g mol–1. Calculate the mass percentage of octocrylene in the sunscreen.
