3.13 Beer-Lambert Law

  • A = εbc (on formula sheet)

    • A represents absorbency.

    • ε represents molar absorptivity.

    • b represents path length.

    • c represents concentration in M.

- An experiment with a spectrophotometer will give you a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration.
