Спектрофотометрический анализ смеси

Разделение двухкомпонентной смеси с помощью системы одновременных уравнений

Colorimetry Advanced (University) 75 мин ~$12,00

Цель

Определить индивидуальные концентрации двух красителей в смешанном растворе, используя измерения поглощения на двух длинах волн и систему одновременных уравнений.

Предпосылки

When a solution contains two absorbing species with overlapping spectra, a single wavelength measurement cannot determine both concentrations. However, by measuring absorbance at two wavelengths (ideally the λmax of each component) and applying the additive property of absorbance (Beer-Lambert), a system of two simultaneous equations can be solved. This technique is the basis of multicomponent analysis in spectrophotometry.

Процедура

1

Scan pure methyl orange from 350–700 nm. Record λmax (approximately 464 nm in acidic pH).

8 мин
2

Scan pure bromothymol blue from 350–700 nm. Record λmax (approximately 615 nm at neutral pH).

7 мин
3

Prepare 3 standard concentrations of each pure dye. Measure absorbance of each at both λmax values (464 and 615 nm).

15 мин
4

Calculate the molar absorptivity (ε) for each dye at each wavelength from the standard curves: ε(A,464), ε(A,615), ε(B,464), ε(B,615).

15 мин
5

Measure the absorbance of the unknown mixture at both wavelengths.

5 мин
6

Set up the simultaneous equations: A(464) = ε(A,464)·C(A) + ε(B,464)·C(B), A(615) = ε(A,615)·C(A) + ε(B,615)·C(B). Solve for C(A) and C(B).

15 мин
7

Verify your results by comparing the calculated total absorbance at several wavelengths with the measured mixture spectrum.

10 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

The simultaneous equations yield positive concentrations for both dyes. The reconstructed spectrum (sum of individual contributions) should closely match the measured mixture spectrum, validating the Beer-Lambert additivity principle.

Уборка

Pour dilute dye solutions down the drain with running water. Rinse all cuvettes and volumetric flasks thoroughly.
