Beer-Lambert Law
Or more commonly
Beers Law
(A16-A19 in your textbook)
Concentration
expresses how the
amount of solute
and the amount of
solution compare
Our unit of choice:
Molarity = mol/L
What do you notice
about the solutions?
Conc is moles
(number of
ions/atoms/molecul
e) per space
More molecules
means more light is
caught
Beers Law
Molar Absorptivity - a
Path Length - b
Concentration - c
A = abc
A = -log T
(T is transmittance)
How Do We Do This?
Spectroscopy
involves the study
of light that is
absorbed or
emitted by a
substance
Visible spec.
involves light we
can see
The plan:
