Rearrangement of Beer's law

Explanation:

Beer's law states that you can determine the absorbance (A) with three factors: molar absorptivity (ε), path length (b), and concentration (c). Absorbance has no units. Path length is usually 1 cm. The molar absorptivity is measured in Lmol1cm1. Concentration is in molL1.

A=εbc

If you rearrange the equation, you can solve for concentration.

c=Aεb
