Crystal violet, C25H30N3Cl(s), is a purple dye. Some light is absorbed when it passes through C25H30N3Cl(aq). Absorbance is the proportion of light absorbed at a particular wavelength. This is measured using a colorimeter. A graph of absorbance against wavelength for C25H30N3Cl(aq) is shown in [Figure 2.1]. A student investigates how to determine the concentration of aqueous crystal violet, C25H30N3Cl(aq), using colorimetry.
