Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry

edit

Proposed Topics

edit

Outline

edit

Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy[1]

edit
  1. Show what a spectroscopy is.
  2. Describe the experiment this equipment is used for.
  3. Relate this to molecular absorption of ultraviolet and visible regions.

Absorption Spectroscopy[2]

edit
  1. Explain why at different pH, the rate of absorption is different.

Thymol blue

edit
  1. Define what thymol blue is.
  2. Add in diagrams of thymol blue at different pH.
  3. Relate this to UV-Vis Spectrophotometry.
  • a dye used as an acid-base indicator, with a pK value at 1.7 and another at 8.9; red at pH values below 1.2, yellow between 2.8 and 8, and blue above 9.6.[3]
