O We don't have to create a standard curve so long as we choose the appropriate wavelength. Because the standard curve tells us the absorbance of our sample Because the standard curve is used to determine the extinction coefficient Because the standard curve indicates what wavelength to set the spectrophotometer toarrow_forwardIf the absorbance of 0.209 M copper (II) chloride solution is 0.58 and the path length of light is 1.00 cm, what is the Beer's Law extinction coefficient, epsilon?

- A protein’s concentration can be determined spectrophotometrically by mixing it with an indicator called a Bradford reagent and measuring the amount of light absorbed by the protein. Use the plot below to determine the mass of protein (in micrograms, μμg ) in 100.0 mL of the solution if its absorbance is 0.398. A. 52 B. 3.1 C. 2.4 D. 0.52 E. 0.031arrow_forwardSpectroscopy relies on the excitation and relaxation of electrons. Which of the following statements about spectroscopy is true? Phosphorescence is the emission of a photon of light as an electron transitions from the excited singlet state to ground state. Collisional deactivation of an excited molecule decreases the absorbance response. Molecular absorption spectrometry measures the change in light intensity as light passes through a sample. Fluorescence is the absorption of a photon of light as an electron transitions from the ground state to an excited triplet state.arrow_forwardThe spectra that you observe are for approximately 1 x 1012 atoms. So it is likely, that with electronic excitation, many of the electronic energy levels will be readily populated. However, the higher energy levels will be less populated, so what does say about the intensity of the higher energy peaks? Is that observation consistent with the spectrum we measured with the spectrometer?arrow_forward

Absorption spectra for molecules are more complex than atomic spectra because: C (a) Molecular species have side reactions C (b) Atomic species do not absorb light C (c) The number of energy states of molecules is enormous when compared with the number of energy states for isolated atoms. 10 absorption / emission of light by a molecule and describe the processes in terms of energy levels.
