    Beer lambert law question?
    100 ml of a solution contains 0.050 g of a coloured compound that absorbs exactly half the incident light intensity at 500 nm when the solution is in a 1.00 cm wide spectrophotometer cell. The cell width that would absorb 75% of the incident light intensity is:

    a. 0.5 cm
    b. 1.0 cm
    c. 2.0 cm
    d. 4.0 cm
    e. (log 10 2) cm
    f. none of the above


    The mass of the coloured compound in the same solution as in question 1 above that would have an absorbance of 1.5 in the same 1.00 cm cell is (in grams):

    a. 0.050
    b. 0.075 log10 2
    c. 0.033 log10 2
    d. 0.075 / log10 2
    e. 0.075 / log10 0.5
    f. none of the above

    ----

    For the first question, I used A = log (Io/I) = E c l where E c is constant and solved for l. I got 2.0cm.

    for the second question, I do not have much idea on how to approach it.
    how would you rearrange the equation?
