Beer’s Law
Concentration of solute in solution is directly proportional to amount of light absorbed and indirectly proportional to amount of light transmitted
Beer’s Law Equation
Concentration1/Absorbance1=Concentration2/Absorbance2
Function of Colorimeter Spec 20
Measures absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution
