Abstract In this experiment‚ the absorbance of KMnO4 was measured by spectrophotometric method to determine the molar concentration and the molar extinction coefficient of KMnO4. In part 1‚ in order to determine the maximum absorbance wavelength of KMnO4‚ we measured the absorbance of the sample solution which contains KMnO4 at the wavelengths between 330nm and 660nm‚ and plotted the λ and A points; the λmax was 530nm. In part 2‚ the effect of concentration on the absorbance was examined. We prepared
