For Beer’s law, What is the distance travelled by the light ray through the solution ( in the cuvette you were given)? _________
What are the units of absorance as measured by a spectrophotometer? _________
Are these real units? Yes or no
What is the range of numbers for absorbance ? ____ to ______
what number is beyond limit?
What is the purpose of using a ‘blank’ like water?
Solution
The distance traveled by the light is equal to the width of the cuvette.
There are nobunits of measurements for absorbance of light by a spectrophotometer.
The range of absorbance is 0 to 1. More than 1 is beyond limit.
Using a blank line water helps to calibrate the spectrophotometer to absorbance value of zero.
