A 1.2cm diameter glass cuvette is filled with a Cu(NH3)42+ solution that is deep blue. The cuvette is placed into a pre-blanked spectrophotometer. At 620nm, the transmittance is 23%. If the solution has molarity = 0.0133 M and path length of light through the solution = 1.2 cm, what is the value of molar absorptivity at 620 nm?
