Study Notes

Complexation Measurement

The composition of a stable complex can be determined by two techniques: the mole-ratio method and the method of continuous variations.

UV-VIS Spectrophotometry

Two types of spectrophotometers: Single Beam Spectrometer and Double Beam Spectrometer.
Single Beam Spectrometer:
- Uses one light beam for the sample or the blank.
- Less accurate.
- The sample and blank must be placed alternately in the light path.
- Does not contain a beam splitter.
Double Beam Spectrometer:
- Uses two light beams: one for the sample and the other for the reference (blank).
- More accurate.
- The sample and blank are placed at the same time in the light path.
- Contains a beam splitter.

Applications of UV-VIS Spectrophotometry

Quantitative analysis of a single component:
- A calibration curve (Beer-Lambert's) is constructed by determining the absorbance values of a series of solutions at the selected λmax.
Useful for estimating the maximum wavelength at which the quantitative measurement should be done.
