Spectrophotometry measures light absorption: A = log(I₀/I) = εbc (Beer-Lambert law), used for quantitative analysis.

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Input measured absorbance, path length, molar absorptivity
  2. 2Calculate concentration
  3. 3Generate calibration curve if multiple samples

Exemples résolus

Entrée
Absorbance 0.5, ε = 5000 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, b = 1 cm
Résultat
c = A/(εb) = 0.5/5000 = 1×10⁻⁴ M

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Using wrong wavelength for compound
  • Not accounting for baseline absorbance

Questions fréquentes

What's molar absorptivity?

Characteristic of molecule at specific wavelength; tabulated values for known compounds.
