SPECTROMETRY
• In IR & UV-Vis the spectrometers are quite
similar, the wavelengths used are:
UV-Vis: 180 nm to 380  to 780 nm
IR:  2.5 mm to 25 mm  (4000 - 400cm-1)
• A plot of wavelength versus
absorption is obtained (CH1012 Kc Cr2O72-).
• Beer’s Law is used to relate the absorption
  A to the analyte conc.   A = e l [i]   i = analyte
     (NOx prac, phosphate prac)
• UV-Vis is used in: NO3-(aq), PO43-(aq), ...
• IR is usually used in air quality control for
measuring concs of CO.
