Beer's Law • A = εbc = -logT = -log(P/Po) • Absorbance is additive: • Atotal = A1 + A2 ...= ε1bc1 + ε2bc2... • Only if species do not react chemically!
Limitations of Beer's Law (pp 338 - 348) • Real limitations: • Interactions at c > 0.01 M • Refractive index change at high c
(2) Chemical effects - analyte associates, dissociates or reacts to give molecule with different ε
(3) Instrumental effects - stray light, polychromatic radiation or noise non-linear calibration curve (Fig 13-4)
