Absorbances
The theory states that white light (the light we see) includes all wavelengths of light in the
visible area of the EM, based on the experiment. Since it absorbs light at one or more wavelengths in
the visible region and transmits the rest, a material appears colored. The human eye, which is a form of
EM radiation detector, detects light that is emitted rather than absorbed. The colour of the light emitted
is the same as the colour of the light absorbed. For dilute solutions at a given wavelength, there is a
linear relationship between absorbance and concentration. This relationship is known as Beer's Law
with a given equation of: A = εbc.
A wavelength of light that is strongly absorbed is chosen for analytical studies. It is calculated
by locating the highest absorbance in the EM spectrum under consideration.
Since absorbance is proportional to concentration in dilute solutions, a linear plot can be constructed by
plotting absorbance versus concentration. The concentration of an unknown substance can be measured
using the absorbance of the unknown substance and the graph after the plot has been constructed.
The experiment started with the preparation of 5 ppm, 15 ppm, 25 ppm, 35 ppm, and 45 ppm solutions
from a 100 ppm carmoisine stock solution. Then, pour 50 mL of the stock solution into a volumetric
flask. The solution was shaken and labelled after distilled water was applied to the volumetric flask
Perkin-Elmer UV/ Vis Spectrophotometer Lambda EZ210 was used to calculate the maximum Colorant
concentration after all the solutions were prepared.
The starting wavelength using wavelength scan was 700.0 nm, and the finishing wavelength
was 400.0 nm, according to the results. The path length was 10.0 nm long. The rectangular peak
integration method was used. Peak one began at 700.0 nm and finished at 681.5 nm. It began at 681.5
nm and ended at 400.0 nm for the last peak (peak 2). After that, no other peaks have appeared.
Photometry was used as an instrument parameter for sample 2. The sample used was carmoisine
stock solution at a concentration of 100 ppm, with a maximum wave of 529.0 nm. The number of
wavelengths was 1, and wavelength 1 had a value of 520.5 nm. The path length was 10.0 nm long. The
y-axis absorbance in standard 1 was 0.206 nm, and the concentration was 5 ppm. The absorbance of the
y-axis was 0.430 nm when a concentration of 15 ppm was used in standard 2. The absorbance of the y
axis was 0.967 nm when a concentration of 25 ppm was used in standard 3. When a concentration of
35 ppm was used in standard 4, the absorbance of the y axis was 1.278 nm. Finally, in standard 5, the
absorbance of the y-axis was 1.495 nm when a concentration of 45 ppm was used. Unknown solution
1 had a concentration of 11.36 ppm, while unknown 2 had a concentration of 22.20 ppm. The pattern
that could be seen on the graph standard calibration was directly proportional.
According to theory, if the wavelength is a given length, there would be a linear relationship
between absorbance and concentration for dilute solutions. As a result, we can assume that the
experiment's goal was met.
In the experiment, there were just a few potential mistakes. I in order to obtain a reliable result,
the experiment must be improvised. The first step is to double-check that all of the chemicals required
for the experiment have been correctly measured based on the laboratory manual's instructions. Then,
using the right technique, repeat the experiment. Wash the apparatus with distilled water to ensure that
they are completely clean and will not affect the experiment's objectives.
4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We may assume that the max of a sample can be achieved by scanning it with radiation using a
UV/Vis Spectrophotometer. The first absorbance, y-axis, for standard 1 is 0.206, and the last one,
standard 5, is 1.495. This demonstrates that the graph is directly proportional. A wavelength scan was
used to determine the wavelength of maximum absorbance, max; a serial dilution was also prepared,
and a standard calibration graph was produced using a photometric scan. As a result, the experiment's
goals have been met. The flow of the experiment can be improved by carefully following the lab manual
and being serious while conducting the experiment.
There was feedback on how to avoid potential mistakes. To begin, apply different droppers to
the carmoisine solution and distilled water. If the same droppers were used in all solutions, there would
be several mistakes that could influence the outcome. Following that, all volumetric flasks must be
rinsed with sterile water before the experiment can begin properly to prevent any balanced waste from
the previous experiment. Then, quickly cover the volumetric flask with a rubber stopper to avoid liquid
licking. Finally, thoroughly clean the equipment with purified water to remove any waste.
