Quantum Chemistry

Quantum chemistry deals with the properties of chemical systems and their reactions. The branch of chemistry which is more concerned with quantum chemistry is physical chemistry. It is a more sophisticated field of theoretical physics which is concerned towards the application of physical concepts towards various chemical aspects such as, formation of atoms, chemical structure descriptions, chemical bond strength, hybridization, conjugation etc. Quantum chemistry mainly studies the various states i.e., ground state, excited state, transition states of the individual atoms or molecules taking place during any chemical reaction. The laws of motion explained by various scientists, which are termed as “classical mechanics” were not acceptable in terms of electrons, protons, atoms, light etc. Thus, a new theory named “quantum mechanics” emerged to understand the basic framework of various atomic and subatomic particles.

Part A1: Do you notice any pattern in the color of the light used to detect absorbance (preset) and the color of the solution? If so, describe the pattern. What happened to the transmittance when the wavelength being detected was changed to approximately the same color as the solution? Try to come up with an explanation for this. How does the percent transmittance of the preset wavelength compare to the percent transmittance when looking at the transmittance over the entire visible spectrum? What happened to the transmittance when the width of the sample was changed? Explain why this makes sense. Explain why there was an upper maximum on the concentrations for each solution. What would happen to the absorbance or percent transmittance of a sample above that concentration? If you needed to measure the exact concentration of a solution whose concentration is above that limit, is there anything you can do?
