Spectrophotometry Flashcards
Most common light source
Tingsten light bulb
Oldest yet most commonly used
Colorimetry
Parts of a spectrophotometer
Lemecpm
Other kinds of light source
Mdhxmg
Minimizes unwanted or stray light
Entrance slit
Isolates specific or indiv wavelengths
Monochromator
Prevents the entrace of scattered light
Entrance slit
Wedge shape piece of glass, quartz or nacl
Prism
Made by cutting grooves or slit in an aluminized surface
Diffraction gratings
Simple, least expensive monochromator
Filter
Holds the sample
Cuvet
Semi transparent silver films on both sides of a dielectric
Filter
Kinds of cuvet
Aqbs
Composed of selenium on a plate of iron covered with transparent layer of silver
Barrier layer
Contains cathode and anode enclosed in a glass case
Phototube
Most common type of photodetector
Photomultiplier tube
Photodetector that requires no external voltage
Barrier layer
Gives of electrons when light strikes it
Photo tube
Measure light in a multitude of wavelengths
Photodiode
Also known as absorption cell, analytical cell or sample cell
Cuvet
Detects less amt of light
Photodiode
State the beer’s law
Concentration of the inknown substance is directly proportional to the absorbed light and inversely proportional to the amt of transmitted light
Amt of light absorbed
Absorbance
Used to assess wavelength accuracy
Didymium & holmium oxide filter
To assess absorbance accuracy
Neutral density filter and dichromate sol.
State 5 poisonous vapors
Ccl4 chloroform mercury bromide ammonia
5 flammable and combustible solvents
Acetone ethanol toluene methanol cylene
