The complex absorbs strongly at 535 nm. Standardizing the method is accomplished using external standards. A 10.00-ppm Fe3+ working standard is prepared by transferring a 10-mL aliquot of a 100.0 ppm stock solution of Fe3+ to a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. Calibration standards of 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and 5.00 ppm are prepared by transferring appropriate amounts of the 10.0 ppm working solution into separate 50-mL volumetric flasks, each of which contains 5 mL of thioglycolic acid, 2 mL of 20% w/v ammonium citrate, and 5 mL of 0.22 M NH3. After diluting to volume and mixing, the absorbances of the external standards are measured against an appropriate blank.

- Under what conditions will Beer’s Law most likely NO LONGER be linear? When the absorbing species is very dilute. When the absorbing species participates in a concentration-dependent equilibrium. When the solution being studied contains a mixture of ions.arrow_forwardCompared to incident (exciting) radiation, fluorescence emission will have a: Higher energy Higher frequency Longer wavelengtharrow_forwardLin and Brown described a quantitative method for methanol based on its effect on the visible spectrum of methylene blue. In the absence of methanol, methylene blue has two prominent absorption bands at 610 nm and 663 nm, which correspond to the monomer and the dimer, respectively. In the presence of methanol, the intensity of the dimer’s absorption band decreases, while that for the monomer increases. For concentrations of methanol between 0 and 30% v/v, the ratio of the two absorbance, A663/ A610, is a linear function of the amount of methanol. Use the following standardization data to determine the %v/v methanol in a sample if A610 is 0.75 and A663 is 1.07.arrow_forward

As the exit slit is narrowed, the bandwidth of light (i.e., the range of wavelengths) exiting the slit gets smaller, leading to higher resolution.
