2. According to the Beer-Lambert law absorbance is proportional to concentration at each wavelength. In principle, one could choose any wavelength for quantitative estimations of concentration. However, we generally select the wavelength of maximum absorbance for a given sample and use it in our absorbance measurements. Especially, one should avoid the steep portions of the spectrum. Why? 3. Which concentration range - a dilute or a concentrated one - is chosen for accurate determinations of unknown concentrations?

Analyzing and Predicting Spectroscopic Data

The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the structure of molecules in the sample and their study is referred spectroscopy. Several spectroscopic methods are used to acquire sample information, and these methods are proved to be accurate, fast, and non-destructive. The information obtained about the content and composition of molecules from these spectroscopic methods is called spectroscopic data.

Question

2. According to the Beer-Lambert law absorbance is proportional
to concentration at each wavelength. In principle, one could
choose any wavelength for quantitative estimations of
concentration. However, we generally select the wavelength of
maximum absorbance for a given sample and use it in our
absorbance measurements. Especially, one should avoid the
steep portions of the spectrum. Why?
3. Which concentration range
a dilute or a concentrated one - is
chosen for accurate determinations of unknown concentrations?
