Erioglucine is a blue-colored dye that absorbs its complementary color, red, in aqueous solution around 645 nm. Unfortunately, the local distilled water supply used to make solutions is consistently contaminated with a trace amount of a metal cation that also absorbs 645 nm light. Suppose then, a control sample of 0.0552 M erioglucine (aq) has an absorbance of 0.331 and that a distilled water sample in a similar cuvette has an absorbance of 0.019. Determine the concentration of an erioglucine (aq) sample that has an absorbance of 0.217.
