UV/ Visible Spectroscopy Flashcards
1
Q
Wavenumbers
A
The reciprocal wavelengths (often used in IR)
2
Q
Absorbance
A
How much light is absorbed, is the negative log of the transmittance
3
Q
Beer’s law
A
absorbance is equal to the product of the concentration, path length, and the absorptivity
4
Q
Beer’s law
A
absorbance is equal to the product of the concentration, path length, and the absorptivity. It is only applicable to dilute solutions.
5
Q
Applications of UV/Vis
A
Iron in meat (ferrozine), phosphorus (vanadate-molybdate reagent)
