Molar absorption coefficent

Hi,

I am having an issue converting Molar absorption coefficient expressed in "L mol-1 cm-1" to "m2 mol-1".

Can anyone help please?

Solved by using equation found here:

L is a volume - so is related to m3. cm-1 is related to 1/m. It is just a matter of combining these. m3*1/m=m2, so it is obviously doable, you just need to take track of the conversion coefficients.
