Question

State Beer’s law and define all terms in it. What is the relationship between absorbance and %T?

Answer 1

Beer’s law - the absorptive capacity of a dissolved substance is directly proportional to its concentration in a solution. The relationship can be expressed as A = εlc where A is absorbance, ε is the molar extinction coefficient, l is the length of the path light must travel in the solution in centimeters, and c is the concentration of a given solution.
