Spectrophotometry and Beer's Law

  • We've learned about kinetics already, but how do we gather kinetic data? One clever method is by analyzing how the color of a solution changes over time, which is an indication of the concentration of certain compounds that interact with light in a specific way. This technique is called spectrophotometry, and this type of analysis will involve calculations using Beer's Law. Let's take a closer look!

      its very obvious that its a Trap Bryant keegan and Mekhi Taylor are the same person...
      The tricks works like this: the person has an account by the name
      Mekhi Taylor and then comes and says "I don't know if anyone cares but I just hacked that and that etc etc
      Then The same person logins into another account by the name Bryant keegan and says" Oh you are right I checked it out"..
      When in reality its the same person.
      If you are seeing this.
      Whatever your real name is..
      I will use the fake names for now.. Mekhi or Bryant
      Whatever your intentions are. I hope you don't continue to trick others.
      I hope you find what you are looking for by doing something that benefits you.

    For a part of my project, I was thinking about making a standard curve type thing, like make a range of dilutions and then plot the absorbance against the dilution concentration and then have the computer put a line of best fit. Then any sample I run with that substance I can just plug it into the graph. Would that give me a fairly accurate concentration? Would the concentration vs absorbance be linear? Thanks

    • @setsu2221
      @setsu2221 11 місяців тому

      It depends on several factors, but perhaps most importantly whether you are below, I believe, 1 ABS. Around ABS>1, the correlation becomes nonlinear. You may also have to account for variables such as temperature change and material properties. The spectrometer i use has water cooling and a temperature controller, but I doubt most have that 🤔

    Should that not be Ln and not Log(10) ? If A = Ln (1/0.12) = 2.12, that gives c=3.03M If you put c=3.03M into the exponential function, then the absorption is 0.12 as given in the example.

    • @pablodumas9446
      @pablodumas9446 9 місяців тому

      It doesn't matter which logarithm base one uses (natural logarithm of base e or logarithm of base 10, the latter of which is most common for absorbance), the result will still be consistent with the formulae.
      Here's the logarithm of base 10 calculation step by step:
      1. .9208/(.35*2)=1.3154285714285714
      2. 1.3154285714285714*2*.35=0.9208
      This is what's shown in the video at 4:58.
      From 'en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer%E2%80%93Lambert_law', uppercasing the important parts: '''It correlates the absorbance, MOST OFTEN EXPRESSED as the negative DECADIC logarithm of the transmittance'''.

      If you go to 3:41 there are two expressions one using Log (base 10) and the other is an exponential function i.e. Ln or log to base e. If you put the values for e, b and c into the exponential function you get I/Iº = 0.3897, not 0.12 as shown later. It looks like two types of logs have been mixed up.
