When light passes through a {l} mm cell containing a concentration, c, of solute of {conc_coeff} $\\times$ 10{conc_log} mol dm-3, the transmitted light intensity, It, is {it} % of I0. Calculate the molar absorption coefficient, $\\epsilon$, of the solute at the wavelength at which the experiment is performed in units of mol-1 dm3 cm-1.
