1. Molar absorptivity ranges from 0 to 1 and
This reaction involves two reactants. One is
indicates how much of the light shining on a
limiting, the other is not. How much of the
 nwabuisi (upn64) – Post-lab 9 Aspirin Synthesis and Analysis – lyon – (50555)
sample was absorbed. The units on molar
absorptivity are absorbancy units.
2. Molar absorptivity refers to how much
deionized water one mole of a substance can
absorb before it begins to dissolve. The units
are liters per mole.
3. Molar absorptivity is how much light one
mole of a substance absorbs at 25◦ C. Molar
absorptivity is unitless.
4. Molar absorptivity is a measure of how
strongly a compound absorbs light at a par-
ticular wavelength. The units commonly used
are cm−1 M−1 .
5. Molar absorbtivity is a measure of how
many moles of a substance are absorbed by
visible light. The units are moles per nanome-
ter.
