Title : The Beer-Lambert Law and Its Limitation Objective : 1. To determine the linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species. 2. To study the effects of molecular dissociation complex formation on the applicability of the Beer-Lambert Law. 3. To investigate the derivation and limitation of Beer-Lambert Law. Introduction: In optics‚ the Beer–Lambert law‚ also known as Beer ’s law‚ the Lambert–Beer law‚ or the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law relates the absorption

1. Impact of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) on non-smokers 2. Introduction During teenage years‚ most people find tobacco smoking “cool” and trendy; this could be attributed to the characteristic chemistry of some compounds found in the tobacco plant‚ which enhance moods and increase energy levels by stimulating the release of endorphins which reduce pain perception and trigger positive feelings (Jenkins & Guerin 2000); and peer pressure. As “cool “and trendy as tobacco smoking may

Beer Lambert Law Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to prove the Beer Lambert Law experimentally. The various solutions used for this experiment are tap water mixed with food colouring‚ Introduction: The Beer Lambert Law shows the relation between absorbance of light of an object‚ the molar absorptivity‚ the concentration of the substance‚ and the distance the light travels. The Beer Lambert Law states that there is a linear relationship between the concentration of a solution and the

when you hear Corona beer? Usually it’s that same image of the commercial taking place on a perfect beach. What would a beer have to with a beach‚ that’s isolated and pretty much perfect? Corona is selling it’s beer by selling a dream with it; and it’s working. The typical Corona commercial we see on television has basic elements that are present in all of them. These basic elements are a beach‚ with crystal clear water‚ flawless sand‚ isolation‚ and of course a cold Corona beer. In a particular Corona
