Colorimetry uses the Beer-Lambert law to determine the concentration of colored solutions by measuring how much light they absorb. The deeper the color (higher concentration), the more light is absorbed. This technique is widely used in clinical chemistry (blood tests), environmental monitoring (water quality), and food science (additive quantification).
Learning Objectives
Understand the Beer-Lambert law (A = epsilon * l * c), construct calibration curves, determine unknown concentrations, and appreciate the limitations of the linear range. Learn wavelength selection — measure at the absorption maximum (lambda_max) for maximum sensitivity.
Key Techniques
Prepare a series of standard solutions of known concentration. Measure absorbance at the wavelength of maximum absorption. Plot absorbance vs. concentration to create a calibration curve. Measure the unknown sample's absorbance and read its concentration from the curve. Use a blank (solvent only) to zero the instrument.
Equipment Overview
Required: colorimeter or spectrophotometer, matched cuvettes, volumetric flasks for standard preparation, micropipettes. Simple colorimeters use LEDs and photodiodes; UV-Vis spectrophotometers provide full wavelength scanning capability.
