A laboratory protocol calls for transferring 5.00 mL of a 0.200 M stock solution of a metal complex into a 100.0 mL volumetric flask and diluting to the mark. What absorbance should be expected for the resulting solution when measured in a 1.00 cm cuvette at 525 nm, given a molar absorptivity of 8.2×101Lmol−1cm−1?
a) 0.41
b) 1.64
c) 0.82
d) 0.082
