2 Light Light, or more properly electromagnetic radiation, is a form of energy that is described in two ways. It can be described as a wave (or ray) or as a particle. There is good experimental evidence for both models, so being able to use both is called particle wave duality. Terms associated with both models are commonly used; in fact, it is not uncommon to use particle and wave terminology in the same sentence. Electrons also have particle wave duality. Regardless of whether is it described as a particle or a wave, light is described by two components. One is its energy, the other its intensity. While these terms are often confused in common language, it is important to correctly use the terms for these two independent properties. As independent properties, light can be high energy and low intensity or vice versa. Light as a particle. When light is described as a particle, the particle is called a photon. The energy of a photon can be measured in the usual energy unit of joules. Normally, higher energy particles are thought of as moving faster, but, of course, electromagnetic radiation moves at the speed of light (c). A slightly better analogy is to think of the energy like a temperature. In fact, the energies of photons are sometimes expressed in units of temperature, although this is uncommon and not typical of chemical applications. In the particle model of light, intensity is simply the number of photons. Light as a wave. The horizontal component of a light wave is an expression of its energy. The horizontal component can be measured as wavelength (λ) the distance from crest to crest or valley tovalley. The unit would be some form of length units such as nm. The horizontal component can also be measured as frequency (γ), the time it takes for a wave to pass by. Thus the units of waves per time are generally just expressed as s 1 or Hz (1 Hz = 1 s 1 ). If you multiply frequency by wavelength, you get m/s which is, of course, speed. Therefore, since we are discussing light, λγ = c (1) It is important to recognize this expresses an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency. That is if wavelength is long, frequency is short and vice versa. The wave model and the particle model both express energy and are therefore have related measurements. Frequency and energy are related by Planck s constant (h). hγ = E (2) By combining equations 1 and 2, the relationship between wavelength and energy can be determined. hc/λ = E (3) Consequently, high energy photons can also be described as high frequency and short wavelength; low energy photons are low frequency and long wavelength. The vertical component is the intensity component. Waves with higher amplitude are more intense. This connects to the particle model when you recognize that the effect of adding two waves with the same wavelength results in a single wave with the same wavelength, but twice the amplitude. Electromagnetic Spectrum. It is common to divide electromagnetic radiation into categories based on its energy. The categories are more or less assigned by the way that energy of light interacts with matter. Thus, the divisions between each category are not firm, but rather approximate values. 2
3 The only category that can properly be called light is the visible category. Visible light is, unsurprisingly, the only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see. The energy of visible light is typically expressed as wavelength with values of approximately nm. Visible light can be further subdivided into colors in the typical rainbow order. Violet is high energy (400 nm) visible radiation; red is the low energy (700 nm) visible radiation. At slightly higher energies than visible light is ultraviolet light. Its name even means beyond violet. Its region is about nm. Both ultraviolet and visible light interact with the valence electrons in atoms and molecules. At slightly lower energies than visible light is infrared radiation. Its name comes from the phrase inferior to red. The energy of infrared radiation is typically expressed in wavenumbers ( ) rather than wavelength. Wavenumbers are simply the reciprocal of the wavelength (4) and typical units are cm 1. At these energies, radiation interacts with bond vibrational energies. Lower in energy than infrared are microwave (rotational energies) and, lower yet, radiowaves (yes, the ones that carry a signal to your radio). At higher energies are x rays (interactions with innershell electrons) and at the highest energies, gamma rays (interactions with nuclear energies). Details of the electromagnetic spectrum are readily available in any analytical textbook. This primer primarily addresses visible and ultraviolet radiation although many principles also apply to other spectral regions. Absorbance Electromagnetic radiation can interact with the electrons in an atom. The energies of electrons are quantized. That is they have specific allowed energy values and energies that do not match those values are not allowed in the atom. These allowed energy levels are called orbitals or more specifically, since they are the energies of electrons: electronic orbitals. Thus electromagnetic radiation can only interact with matter when the energy of the light exactly matches the energy difference in orbitals, i.e., the energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another. The ground state of the atom has its electrons arranged in the configuration with the lowest possible energy. This is the preferred and normal state of an atom. However, there are other energy levels that exist and if the right amount energy is provided to the atom, the electrons can move to these other levels creating an excited state. When a photon with an energy that exactly matches the energy difference between two electronic orbitals interacts with the substance, that energy may be used to move the electron to the higher energy state. If that occurs, the photon is said to be absorbed and no longer exists (as the light energy which was the photon becomes potential energy in the substance). This process is symbolically shown in Figure 1. If the photon is not absorbed, it continues on its path and is said to be transmitted. The energies of ultraviolet and visible radiation tend to be in the range sufficient to move an electron from its highest occupied orbital (a valence electron) to an unoccupied orbital that is close in energy. 3
4 Whether or not a photon of the correct energy is absorbed is a probability function that depends on the nature of orbitals. Some transitions between energy levels are favorable and a large percentage of the available photons are absorbed. These are called allowed transitions. Transitions that are not favorable are called forbidden. However, like many things, being forbidden does not mean that the transition will not occur, just that it is less likely. In atoms, the energy levels are very specific so the match between the energy of the photon and the difference in atomic energy levels must be nearly exact. However, in molecules, bond vibrations allow small differences in the electronic energy levels. Thus, while the exact energy difference is preferred, photons with energies close to that value are often absorbed as well. There are several other ways light and matter can interact, however, these are not addressed in this primer. Spectrometers The device used to measure the interaction of electromagnetic radiation is called a spectrometer or spectrophotometer. The components of this device can be described with a block diagram, as shown in Figure 2. In a spectrometer, the source provides the electromagnetic radiation. This is typically a tungsten (W) lamp for the visible spectrum or a deuterium (D 2 ) lamp for the ultraviolet spectrum. These provide all the wavelengths (energies) in that spectral region at high intensity. The monochromator (literally: one color maker ) divides light into its component wavelengths and allows only the chosen wavelength to continue to the sample. In reality, it is a small range of wavelengths that are allowed through. Because the source does not emit the same number of photons at every wavelength, the intensity of the output (P 0 ) is wavelength dependent. The sample cell holds the sample. It must be transparent to the light that being used for measurement otherwise you will be measuring the sample cell instead of the sample. For visible light, it is easy to choose a transparent cell as any colorless cell is transparent to visible light. However, glass and many plastics will absorb ultraviolet light so quartz cells are typically used for ultraviolet measurements. For solutions, the solvent must also be transparent to the light used. As will the cell, any colorless substance is transparent to visible light. However, if working in the ultraviolet region, you must choose more carefully. Fortunately, the common solvents (e.g., water, acetonitrile, short chain alcohols and alkanes) are transparent to ultraviolet light. 4
5 The pathlength (b) is the distance light travels through the cell. The longer this distance, the more molecules the photon might encounter, therefore the greater the chance the photon will be absorbed. The typical cell pathlength is 1.00 cm. The detector is a device (generally a photomultiplier tube) that changes photons into an electrical signal. Consequently, the detector is counting the number of transmitted photons, as the absorbed photons to do make it out of the sample. The detector can be set to give the output as transmittance (T), percent transmittance (%T) or absorbance (A). Transmittance is the ratio of transmitted photons (P) to number of photons that impacted the sample (P 0 ). To obtain a value for P 0, a blank is measured. A blank contains all the substances in the sample except the analyte (analyte = the substance under study). T = P/P 0 (5) Percent transmittance (%T) is simply this ratio times 100. %T = T x 100 = (P/P 0 ) X 100 (6) Absorbance (A) is the negative log of the transmittance. A = log(t) = log(p/p 0 ) = log (P 0 /P) (7) Absorbance is the most commonly used unit as it is directly proportional to the concentration of analyte. All these values (absorbance, transmittance, percent transmittance) are unitless. Nevertheless, you occasionally see AU looking like it is a unit. AU stands for absorbance unit but is not really a meaningful idea, it is more of a unit placeholder. A typical spectrophotometric measurement starts first with the choice of wavelength. Once the wavelength has been set, the blank is put in the sample compartment. The analyst informs the instrument that the blank is being measured, normally by pressing a button labeled 0 Absorbance (0 A) or 100% T. Then the blank is replaced with the sample and the absorbance (or transmittance) of the sample is measured. (This is normally displayed directly and does not require pushing any more buttons.) The blank measurement only has to be made 1) before the first measurement after the instrument has been turned on and 2) whenever the wavelength is changed. Absorbance Spectra One of the classic types of spectroscopic measurements is the determination of a spectrum. A spectrum is a graph of absorbance (y axis) versus wavelength (x axis) in the measurement of a single sample. (Infrared spectra typically use %T instead of absorbance and wavenumber instead of wavelength, but follow the same general principles.) Line Spectra. Line spectra consist of a series of lines, where each line represents a transition between the energy levels of orbitals. Line spectra are typical of atoms. Each line spectra is specific to the atom being measured. That is, if the wavelengths and relative heights of the lines match, the identity of the atom is confirmed. A typical line spectra is shown in Figure 3. 5
6 Figure 3. Line spectra for the sodium atom. From: Band Spectra. However, it is more common to measure molecules than it is to measure atoms. (For example, while it might be intuitive to expect Cu 2+ to behave as an atom, in aqueous solutions it exists as [Cu(H 2 O) 4 ] 2+ and behaves as a molecule. Expect all non gases substances to behave as molecules.) Ultraviolet and visible (uv vis) spectra of molecules are band spectra with wide peaks rather than lines (Figure 4). Band spectra are characteristic spectra, so if the wavelength and relative height of the peaks do NOT match, you can confidently state the two substances are not the same, however you cannot confirm the identity of the substance. In other words, band spectra allows you to eliminate possible identities but not directly identify a substance. Uses of spectra. So one of the major uses of spectra is to get information about the identity of the analyte (qualitative information). This can be done, as described above, by matching to a known substance. If the molecule is not known, the wavelengths where absorption occurs can often be used as clues about its structure. In more sophisticated treatments of spectra you can even get direct information about orbital energies and other orbital characteristics. 6
7 Figure 4. Absorption spectrum of an organic molecule. From: Another use of the spectra is to determine the best conditions for quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis is typically conducted at a single wavelength, so the spectra is used to choose this wavelength. Typically, the wavelength used for quantitative analysis is the wavelength with the highest value of absorbance, called λ max ( lambda max ). There are two advantages for choosing this wavelength: 1) the high absorbance values provide higher measurements and 2) because the absorbance tends to flatten at the top, small differences in wavelength do not have a large effect on the absorbance value. Both of these lead to more reliable measurements. Calibration/Quantitative Measurements For quantitative measurements, a calibration curve is used. Creation of a calibration curve requires a series of solutions with a known concentration of analyte (standards). The absorbance of each of these standards is measured at a single wavelength (normally the λ max ). The calibration curve is a graph of the absorbance (y axis) versus the concentration of analyte (x axis). (For example, Figure 5) Once a calibration curve is established, the equation of the line can be used to determine the concentration of an unknown analyte from its measured absorbance. At very high or very low absorbance values, spectrophotometric calibration curves often lose their linearity. This is understandable if you consider what the spectrophotometer is actually measuring. At low absorbance values, the spectrophotometer is comparing a very tiny difference in the number of photons. The normal variation in signal (called noise ) may be about the same or even more than that difference. Therefore, it is impossible to tell if the reduction in signal is due to the absorbance of the sample or noise. At high concentration values, there are very few photons reaching the detector so detecting anything other than zero photons depends on the sensitivity of the detector and a random chance of a photon getting through rather than the concentration of the sample. Beer s Law. The equation of the line for an absorbance calibration is described by the Beer Lambert Law, which is commonly called Beer s Law. Beer s Law is expressed as: A = abc (8) 7
8 where A is the measured absorbance, c is the concentration, b is the pathlength and a is the absorptivity. Thus, the slope of the line in a calibration curve is equal to the absorptivity times the pathlength (ab). Beer s Law predicts that the y intercept will be zero. This is a result of how measurements are made, as you tell the instrument that the blank (where analyte concentration is zero) has an absorbance of zero when you press the 0 A/100% T button. If a blank was not used to set the zero on the instrument, or if there is sufficient error in the measurements, the calibration curve might have a nonzero y intercept. In that case corrected absorbance should be used in a Beer s Law calculation where the corrected absorbance (A corr ) is the difference between the measured absorbance and the y intercept or the absorbance of the blank (A blank ). A corr = A measured A blank = A measured y intercept (9) If the equation of the line is used directly there is no need for correction use the same value you graphed. (i.e., if you graphed measured absorbance, use that in your calculation; if you graphed correct absorbance, use that!) absorbance concentration of iron (ppm) Figure 5. Calibration Curve for trisphenanthrolineiron(ii) ion at 520 nm. The absorbance (A) is the typical measurement recorded by the spectrophotometer and b is the distance the light travels through the sample cell. Both are described in the section on spectrophotometers. Concentration can be expressed in any unit, provided it is used consistently throughout the experiment. Typical concentration units are: molarity (M), parts per million (ppm), and mg/l. The absorptivity (a) is a proportionality factor between absorbance and concentration. Its value depends on the wavelength of measurement, the identity of the analyte and the units of concentration and pathlength. When molarity is used for concentration and cm for pathlength, absorptivity can be symbolized as ε which stands for molar absorptivity. Molar absorptivity (ε) is often expressed without units as the symbol defines the units as M 1 cm 1 and you sometimes see Beer s Law written as: A = εbc (10) It should be obvious from the spectra that different wavelengths absorb differently and will, therefore, have a different absorptivity. However, the value of wavelength (λ) is not part of the calculation. Consequently, while all Beer s Law problems will include the wavelength so that the 8
9 experiment is correctly and completely described, the value of wavelength is not the absorptivity nor is it part of the calculation. Some spectra (see previous section) will use absorptivity or molar absorptivity on the y axis instead of absorbance. This accounts for potential differences in concentration and gives a spectra that is more directly linked to identity. The identity of the analyte also has a significant influence on absorptivity values. As you should recall from the section on absorbance, the signal comes from photons moving an electron to a higher energy level. Some of these transitions are more favorable ( allowed ) than others. For allowed transitions, most of the photons are absorbed and the absorbance is high. Forbidden transitions have a low absorbance as few electrons are promoted. What makes a transition allowed or forbidden is beyond the scope of this primer. Even when this information is known, values are normally determined experimentally for the most accurate values. Sometimes the actually identity of the analyte is less straightforward than it appears on the surface. For example, copper(ii) ion in water is a light, pale blue. This is actually the color of the complex ion: [Cu(H 2 O) 4 ] 2+. When ammonia is added, the color becomes a dark navy blue because the [Cu(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2+ ion is formed. Because they are two different compounds, they will have different values of λ max (only slightly different as they are both shades blue) and the calibration measurements should be conducted at different wavelengths. In addition, if ammonia is added is excess, the amount of copper determines the amount of the complex ion so either concentration of copper or concentration of [Cu(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2+ can be used for the x axis of the calibration curve. However, if ammonia is not in excess, the absorbance will depend on the amount of ammonia instead of the amount of copper and graphing the data as concentration of copper will give you an error. Standard Addition. As an alternative to a calibration curve, the concentration of analyte can also be determined by standard addition. In this experiment, the absorbance of a sample is measured then a known amount of analyte is added to a specific amount of sample and the absorbance of the mixture measured. When the two measurements are compared, the concentration of analyte in the substance can be determined. (11) where: A 1 = absorbance of the analyte in the sample; A 2 = absorbance of analyte in the sample standard mixture; k = proportionality constant for the analyte including pathlength and absorptivity; c x = concentration of the analyte in the sample; c m = concentration of the analyte in the mixture. Since the analyte and the wavelength are the same, the proportionality constants are the same and will cancel. 9 (11b) Standard addition is particularly useful when something other than the analyte is affecting the absorbance of the sample (an interference ). By using this method, the sample is in both measurements and the only change is the amount of analyte. Therefore the change is absorbance is attributed only to the analyte and this method gives a better measurement of analyte concentration. This works best if only a small volume of standard in relatively high concentration is added. Students generally find appropriately expressing the concentration of the mixture in terms of analyte and standard concentration the most difficult part of this calculation. Concentrations cannot be added directly, only moles or mass can. Thus, a general expression of c m is: (12)
10 where V x is the volume of sample; V s is the volume of standard, V t is the total volume and c s is the concentration of standard. As volumes are not additive, it is best practice to dilute the mixture to a known total volume. However, if the standard and sample are similar (e.g., both dilute, aqueous solutions) it is not uncommon to use the sum of V x and V s for the total volume. Another way to create the solutions for standard addition is to dilute both the sample and the standard sample mixture to the same volume. Instead of c x in equation 11, you would use c dil. (13) This has two advantages. First, since you would have the same amount of sample in both solutions, the effect of the interference would be exactly the same and completely accounted for. Second, because the concentration of analyte in the diluted sample (c dil ) is also a fraction with the same denominator as the concentration of analyte in the mixture, the total volume also cancels and the math is simplified. Use of standard addition makes measurements of complex samples more reliable. However, it does assume that both solutions are in the linear portion of the calibration curve and this version of standard addition does not test for that. Secondly, this method of standard addition does not have a convenient way to evaluate the error associated with the measurement. It is possible to account for these problems by doing standard addition graphically, using a series of solutions with increasing amounts of added analyte and the same total volume. However, that method is not addressed in this primer. Mixtures: when 2 or more substance absorb. Another possible complication in Beer s Law measurements is in a mixture where two substances are absorbing at the same wavelength. Just because 2 substances do not have the same λ max, does not mean that one substance does not affect the absorbance of another. The substance may be absorbing but at less than its maximum value. Absorbance measurements that are due to the absorbance of two substances are not uncommon in molecular measurements. As the peak of each substance is broad, the possibility of overlap is fairly high and any overlap will affect the absorbance measurement. In the case where two substances are being absorbed at the same wavelength, the measured absorbance is simply the sum of the absorbance of each substance. A measured = A 1 + A 2 = a 1 bc 1 + a 2 bc 2 (14) where c 1 is the concentration of substance 1 and c 2 is the concentration of substance 2; a 1 is the absorptivity of substance 1 at the experimental wavelength (which is NOT necessarily λ max!) and a 2 is the absorptivity of substance 2 at the experimental wavelength; b is the pathlength of the spectrophotometer which must be the same for both substances as the experiment is measuring both simultaneously (in the same container). Absorptivities can be easily determined by measuring a standard of each substance by itself at the experimental wavelength. To determine the concentration of both substances in a sample, measure at two wavelengths and algebraically solve for the two equations for both unknowns. Summary Absorbance spectrophotometry is a very common technique used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. A spectrophotometer compares the number of photons that are transmitted through a blank to the number of photons transmitted through a sample to determine the transmittance (T) from which it then computes absorbance (A). Information about the identity of the sample can be determined using a spectrum, a graph of absorbance versus wavelength. Atoms produce a line spectra, a series of narrow peaks. If 2 atomic 10
11 spectra produce peaks at the same wavelengths with the same relative heights, the spectra must be of the same atom. Molecules produce band spectra, with one or more wide and possibly overlapping peaks. If 2 molecular spectra produce peaks at the same wavelengths with the same relative heights, the spectra might be of the same molecule. However if the spectra are different, the molecules are definitely not the same. The spectra is also used to determine the best conditions for quantitative experiments, which are conducted at a single wavelength. In general, the best wavelength to use is the λ max, the wavelength with the highest absorbance value. To obtain quantitative information, the absorbance of a series of solutions with a known concentration (standards) are measured at the chosen wavelength. From these measurements, a calibration curve (graph of absorbance versus concentration) is constructed. Then the absorbance of a solution with unknown concentration can be measured and the calibration curve used to determine the concentration. The relationship between absorbance and concentration can be described with Beer s Law. Beer s Law says that absorbance is proportional to concentration. The proportionality constant is called absorptivity which is dependent on the identity of the compound and the wavelength of measurement. 11
