Expert Solution

The dependent variable is the variable in the experiment, which is being measured and observed by the investigator. The dependent variable responds to the changes in the independent variable. As the name suggests, the dependent variable and its results depends on the independent variable, and it cannot exist independent of the independent variable.

1 ) concentration of photons : independent variable.

absorption : dependent variable .

2 ) absorption of varies colors : dependent variable .

Colours : independent variable .

The Beer-Lambert law relates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which the light is traveling.

The Beer-Lambert law (or Beer's law) is the linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species. The general Beer-Lambert law is usually written as:

A = a() * b * c

where A is the measured absorbance, a() is a wavelength-dependent absorptivity coefficient, b is the path length, and c is the analyte concentration. When working in concentration units of molarity, the Beer-Lambert law is written as:

A = * b * c

where is the wavelength-dependent molar absorptivity coefficient with units of M-1 cm-1.

Use the following information and the Beer-Lambert law to determine the mass of the lycopene extracted and the mass of lycopene per 100 grams of tomato paste. 2mL of lycopene was extracted from 8 grams of tomato pase. This was then diluted to 5mL. 1ml of the diluted solution was withdrawn and then further diluted to 9mL. The UV-vis absorbance at 502nm was determined to be 0.162. The cell path was 1cm.

I need to use Beer's Law to determine a concentration, yet my book states "The Beer-Lambert Law is: A = ε0 b c The terms ε0 (extinction coefficient) and b (path length) are constant under the conditions of this experiment, allowing the further simplification Absorbance α (is directly proportional to) concentration." Would this not then mean that my number for absorbance is always equal to the number of concentration? I know I need to use y = mx + b,...

Use the Beer-Lambert law to explain how a colorimetric assay works in the spectrophotometer. In your answer, define the following terms; chromophore, extinction coefficient, absorbance, transmission and reagent blank. Most of the spectrophotometers in the teaching lab emit light of wavelengths between 400-700nm. However some spectrophotometers also emit light between 200-400nm. Why is this extended range useful? Provide a specific example. How can you use a spectrophotometer to perform a qualitative analysis of a substance?
