State treatment of ammonia with phenol in the presence

Reference no: EM13196685

Treatment of ammonia with phenol in the presence of hypochlorite yields indophenol, a blue product absorbing light at 625 nm, which can be used for the spectrophotometric determination of ammonia.

To determine the ammonia concentration in a sample of lake water, you mix 10.0 mL of lake water with 5 mL of phenol solution and 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite solution and dilute to 25.0 mL in a volumetric flask (sample A). To a second 10.0 mL solution of lake water you add 5 mL of phenol, 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite, and 2.50 mL of a 5.50 × 10-4 M ammonia solution and dilute to 25.0 mL (sample B). As a reagent blank, you mix 10.0 mL of distilled water with 5 mL of phenol, 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite and dilute to 25.0 mL (sample C). You measure the following absorbances using a 1.00 cm cuvet:

Absorbance at 625nm: Sample A = 0.518, Sample B = 0.765 Sample, C = 0.045

What is the molar absorptivity (?) of the indophenol product, and what is the concentration of ammonia in the lake water?
