MAAFI Flashcards
What equation to use for Calibration Graphs?
Beer-Lambert (y=m x + c)
Absorbance Calibration graph Equation?
A=elc
What does A=elc?
A= Absorbance e= Extinction Coefficient l= Optical Length c= Speed of Light
Absorbance:
In A=elc, what part of Beer-Lambert eqtn. do you get if you multiply E and L?
A=elc
e*l= Extinction Coefficient @ a KNOWN wavelength = M Y= M X + C
Define:
QUANTITY.
How much of a substance there is?
Define:
QUALITY.
What is the subtstance?
Define:
Accuracy
Closeness to REAL value
Define:
Precision
Closeness of a SERIES of values
Define:
Accuracy & Precision
Closeness of a SERIES of values to the REAL/TRUE value
SPECTROSCOPY:
What is light?
Light is a propagating electromagnetic wave.
What is the equation for finding out Wavelengths, Frequencies, Energy and Wavenumbers?
E= hc/LAMBDA = hc*V
Define E, h, c, LAMBDA and V.
E - Energy h - Planck's Constant c - Speed of Light f - Frequency LAMBDA - Wavelength V - Wabenumber
Units for: E h c f LAMBDA V
E= Joules h= 6.62 x10^10-34J/s c= 3x10^8 m/s f= Hz (/s) LAMBDA= nm V= Cm-1
3 Steps to finding out Electromagnetic Properties using Spectroscopy Equation? (Before rearranging)
You’ll need to IDENTIFY:
1) What you HAVE.
2) What you NEED.
3) Which part of the EQUATION you NEED.
SPECTROSCOPY:
Sigma electrons make:
Sigma Bonds!
SPECTROSCOPY:
π electons make
π Bonds!
Which type of bond requires more energy to break into Anti-bonding?
SIGMA BONDS
Photo-degradation is caused by which type of anti-bonding?
SIGMA –> SIGMA* Antibonding
Bond breaking (Sigma* bonds) would cause the formation of a new product (degradation product).
What would this new molecule cause?
A new shift in the absorbance spectrum as each molecule will have its own absorbance.

SPECTROSCOPY:
Wavelength boundaries for Vis
380-700 nm
