According to the Beer Lambert Law the 'Absorbance' is proportional to the path length (distance that light travels through the material) and the concentration of the material. If I have the initial concentrations of Fe3+ (0. Used in low concentrations, these compounds signal pH changes within a specific range determined by the particular indicator in use. This ratio of the products to reactants at equilibrium is represented by the equilibrium constant, or K.
