Why do value of absorbance have no units?

Because it's a relative value.


What is the theoretical absorbance at 340 nm of a 0.01 M solution of NADH?

A = Elc A = (6220 M^-1 cm^-1)x(1 cm)x(0.01 M) A = 62.2 (units cancel, so no units in absorbance)


In a plot of absorbance vs concentration what does the slope represent?

The slope of absorbance vs concentration reptresents the value of εb, where ε is the absorbtivity with units of (L/mol cm) and b is path length measured in cm.


What Beers law?

Beer's law says that absorbance of a molecule or solution is:A = a*b*cwhere A is the absorbance, "a" is the absorptivity (in units of per molar per cm, M-1 cm-1), "b" is the path length (in units of centimeters, cm), and "c" is the concentration (in units of molar, M). The absorptivity, is also commonly known as epsilon.That means that the absorbance is linearly proportional to the thickness of the sample, the concentration of the absorbing medium, and the absorptivity, which is a measure of a given molecule's ability of absorb light.See the Web Links for more information.


Is wavelength or absorbance the dependent variable?

"absorbance"Since in the experiment, you probably choose the wavelength, then measure the absorbance (absorption?, the absorbance is the dependent variable.


What is the purpose of the blank?

Blank Sample in Spectrophotometry is used to measure the absorbance of light without sample. It is subtracted from the total absorbance for measurement of Absorbance from a sample's absorbance.

What is the relation of Beers Lambert's law in UV Visible spectrometer?

The Beer-Lambert law Absorbance = (extinction coefficent)(pathlength of light)(concentration) allows you to measure the absorbance of sample in a UV spec, and change the rate from absorbance units / time to change in concentration / time. the pathlength of light being the width of the cuvette and the extinctin coefficent being specific to the product molecule.


What is difference between specific absorbance and absorbance interms of spectroscopy?

specific absorbance- it is absorbance in a solution containing one gm of substance in 100 ml solvent in 1cm shell. so it is having a difference with absorbance which is negative logarithm of incident light to the transmitted light. divya.chakraborty@gmail.com


What is the different between primary absorbance and secondary absorbance in fluorescence?

in primary light absorbed by outer molecule while in secondary re-absorbance occurs


Is there any difference between beer Lambert's law and Lambert beer's law?

Beer's law says that absorbance of a molecule or solution is:A = a*b*cwhere A is the absorbance, "a" is the absorptivity (in units of per molar per cm, M-1 cm-1), "b" is the path length (in units of centimeters, cm), and "c" is the concentration (in units of molar, M).
