Transcription

1 di x / I x = -kdx (-di x = k I x dx) Integrating this equation from x=0 ~ l (I x =I 0 ~I) gives ; ln I ln I 0 = -kl ln I/I 0 = -kl Expressing the number of photons absorbed by the slab as di x, and the total number of photons incident on the slab as I x, the fraction of photons absorbed by the slab is given by I 0 : Initial light intensity I : Light intensity after it passes through the sample Chapter 7 - di x / I x = -kdx (-di x = k I x dx) Integrating this equation from x=0 ~ l (I x =I 0 ~I) gives ; ln I ln I 0 = -kl ln I/I 0 = -kl T = I/I 0 = e -kl T : Transmittance the fraction of incident light at a specified wavelength that passes through a sample. For most applications, absorbance values are used since the relationship between absorbance and both concentration and path length normally is linear Transformation into a linear expression by taking the logarithm gives : = - log (T) = - log (I/I 0 ) : bsorbance ex. If = T = 0. (0%) = T = 0.0 (%) = T = 0.00 (0.%) Chapter 7 - T = I/I 0 = e -kl di x / I x = - k dx Beer s law Beer s law : the amount of light absorbed is proportional to the number of absorbing molecules(or concentration) through From lambert s law (l) = - a c dx where, k = a c higher concentration leads to a darker color = - log T = - log e -kl = kl log e l (l) Chapter 7-5 Chapter 7-6

2 Beer-Lambert law Combining the two laws gives k = a c T = I/I 0 = e -kl =e -acl From the definition of absorbance () 5 5 = - log T = - log (I/I 0 ) = - log e -acl = acl log e = εcl (a loge = const = ε) (Beer-Lambert law) where, ε = molar absorptivity (L mol - cm - ) c (mol/l) 5 Wavelength (nm) λ max Chapter 7-7 Chapter 7-8 Determination of concentration of unknown samples: Determination of concentration of unknown samples: The absorbance becomes linear with the concentration according to = log (/T) = ε c l = ε c (when l = ) - n unknown concentration of an analyte can be determined by measuring the amount of light that a sample absorbs and applying Beer's law. where, : bsorbance c : Concentration (mol/l) l : path length of light (ex. = cm) ε : molar absorption coefficient, mol - cm - (molar extinction coefficient) (molar absorptivity) c - If the absorptivity coefficient is not known, the unknown concentration can be determined using a working curve of absorbance versus concentration derived from standards. ( Calibration curve) Chapter 7-9 Chapter 7-50

3 Compound What is the significance of the molar absorptivity, ε? ε = / (c l) - In words, " ε is a measure of the amount of light absorbed per unit concentration". - Molar absorptivity is a constant for a particular substance, so if the concentration of the solution is halved so is the absorbance, which is exactly what you would expect. - Therefore, a compound with a high molar absorptivity is very effective at absorbing light (of the appropriate wavelength), and hence low concentrations of a compound with a high molar absorptivity can be easily detected. What is the significance of the molar absorptivity, ε? ε = / (c l) ex. Compound : high value of ε (ex. 00,000 L mol - cm - ) Compound B : low value of ε (ex. 0 L mol - cm - ) How much concentration is required to get an absorbance (=) (in a cm pathlength cuvette)? Compound : ε = / (xc) c = / 00,000 = mol L - Compound B : ε = / (xc) c = / 0 = 0.05 mol L - a compound with a high molar absorptivity(compound ) is very effective at absorbing light.0 Compound B c Chapter 7-5 Chapter 7-5 Limitations of the Beer-Lambert law - Limitations of Beer-Lambert law Note that the Law is not obeyed at high concentrations. deviations in absorptivity coefficients at high concentrations (>0.0M, > ~.5) - Causes of nonlinearity include bsorbance Dye conc. (mmol/l) aggregations at high concentrations deviations in absorptivity coefficients at high concentrations (>0.0M) due to electrostatic interactions between molecules in close proximity scattering of light extinction coefficient is the function of refractive index which is dependent on n ( n ) the concentration. non-ideal assumptions t Chapter 7-5 Chapter 7-5

(i.e. > ) - standard calibration curve can be used to determine the concentrations Chapter 7-56 pplications of UV-visible Spectroscopy - Solvents commonly used for UVvisible spectroscopy are those with little or no absorbance in the wavelength range under investigation - In the visible region, nm, water and most organic solvents can be used without problems. - In the 0-0 nm region methanol, isopropanol, n-hexane, cyclohexane, acetonitrile and water can be used and between 90 and 0 nm, only water, n- hexane and acetonitrile are recommended. - The cuvettes used in the UV region must be made of quartz because glass absorbs UV light. - The first excited state of azobenzene is less stable, charge separated structure st excited state Ground state () () st excited state : (Charge separated structure) sextet of electrons unstable Ground state: (Uncharged structure) - The bathochormicity increases as the energy difference between the ground and st excited state decreases since Polymer Coloration Technology Chapter 7-57 Chapter 7-58
