Water at zero molarity is 635 nm.

1) 500 nanometers was absorbed the most at 2.731.

2) 0.0020M=0.002mol/L
H2O: 1kg/L * 1L/1 * 1000g/kg * 1 mol/18.01528gH2O = 55.50
(In one liter of water there are ~55.50 moles)
0.002 mol/55.50 mol = 0.000036 > 36 ppm
3) The precision of our tools makes it hard to make such a dilution from stock, but its ability to
spread out when put into more solvent means more volumetric precision of moles in serial
dilutions.

Due to the results of our sample testing from the local water source, we can conclude that the
nitrate waste from the chemical company is most certainly a cause for concern. The point at
which nitrate concentration in water is considered unsafe is 40 ppm. Generally being below 4
ppm, the samples were at 465.07 ppm, not only 6 times more concentrated than the point of
risk, but over 100 times the average concentration in water. The correlation is irrefutable and
the concern is large. There is most certainly a need to deal with the chemical companies
dangerous habits.
