Transmittance Absorbance Why LOG?
Transmittance Absorbance Beer’s Law
dP(x)/dx = -κ P(x) P(x) = exp(-κx)
Cross section ~10-18 cm2 Molar extinction Coefficient ~250 L.mol-1cm-1
ε = 313 M-1 cm-1 b = 2 cm T = 3.16% = 0.0316 A = -logT = 1.50 c = 1.5/(313 M-1) (2 cm-1) = 0.0024 M
NB 1: Beer fails when photochemistry happens NB 2: The photophysics Is hidden in σ (So we haven’t done much yet)
Photochemical kinetics STEADY STATE HYPOTESIS
Photochemical kinetics Ozone production λ≤ 240 nm λ≤ 280 nm
Steady state hypothesis: d[O]/dt = 0 • Solve for [O] • Plug into disappearance rate of [O3]
