... concentration on the X axis and absorbance on the Y axis, the slop is the molar extinction coefficient (assuming a 1cm path spectrometer cell and units of M^-1 cm^-1 for the extinction coefficient). okay...yes i've already done that...but hw wud i knw what the exact value fr the molar extin coeff/ ...

... so the intercept should be zero; that means from Y=mx+c for c=0 you only need Y=mx. For A=ecl, l=1cm and so except for its contribution to the units you can ignore it. That leaves you with A=ec, which is in the form Y=mx. As you vary the concentration the absorbance changes. The slope of their ...
