Practical 3 ABSORPTION SPECTRA AND THE BEER-LAMBERT LAW The purpose of this practical was to measure the amount of a chemical substance present in a sample. Primarily‚ the aim of Experiment 1 was to measure the absorption spectrum of a particular coloured substance (in this case Bromophenol Blue and Methyl Orange) at varying wavelengths of light. For Experiment 2‚ the process of the experiment focuses on the substance and records its absorption levels at different concentrations. The absorption levels

A Spectrophotometric Analysis of the Absorption of Green Light Versus Red Light Absorption in Spinach Leaves The goal of the experiment was to determine if green light had less ability to absorb than red light in spinach leaves. This was done by separating the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ carotene and xanthophylls) from one another using paper chromatography. The separated pigments were then analyzed for their absorption spectrum using a spectrographometer. When the

Quinine in Tonic Water using Fluorescence Introduction: Fluorescence is‚ in a way‚ the opposite of absorption. Rather than recording the light absorbed by a species‚ or the light necessary to excite its electrons‚ we measure the light emitted after the species has been excited and returns to its ground electrical state. Two spectra are produced: emission and excitation. Excitation is similar to absorption‚ where emission records the intensity of the radiation emitted by the species as it relates to wavelength

2.7 Raman spectroscopy Principle: Raman spectroscopy is based on the use of a laser light to induce oscillation and rotation in human fluids containing glucose. Because the emission of scattered light is influenced by molecular vibration‚ it is possible to estimate glucose concentration in human fluids [24]. This effect depends on the concentration of the glucose molecules. This technique can measure very weak signals‚ even in human fluids. The wavelength range of Raman spectrum is considered to

Atomic Spectroscopy using a Constant Deviation Spectrometer with Fabry-Perot Etalon Abstract A constant deviation spectrometer with Fabry-Perot etalon has been used to investigate the various atomic emission characteristics from a Zn-Cd-Hg lamp‚ a low pressure Hg lamp and a Ne lamp. The Fabry-Perot etalon of Free Spectral Range 0.010 cm-1 was used to resolve the fringes of the Hg 546.0731nm spectral line‚ and the 594.4834nm‚ 614.3063nm‚ 640.2246nm and 650.6528nm spectral lines of the Ne lamp

Practical 3 Absorption Spectra and the Beer-Lambert Law INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of frequency (V) and wavelength (λ). Absorbance is the capacity of a substance to absorb radiation and transmittance (the fraction radiation at a specified wavelength that passes through a sample) is physical properties that all molecules have. The purpose of experiment one was to find the maximum absorbance (λmax) occurred for both bromophenol blue and methyl orange by

Absorption Spectroscopy Author: Lab Partners: Instructor: Chem 152 Date Work Performed: Date Work Submitted: Abstract A Beer’s Law analysis was used to determine the molar absorptivity of a Red-40 food dye. Using a spectrometer‚ the best wavelength to use for the analysis of this dye was determined to be 501nm. A series of dilutions were performed and the concentrations were calculated to find ‘E‚’ the molar absorptivity‚ which was determined to be 18035 M-1 cm-1. Introduction
