Beer-Lambert Law

AP Chemistry· difficulty 1/5

Calibration data for a colored complex are plotted as absorbance versus concentration.

Concentration (M) A

The straight-line plot of absorbance vs concentration follows:

  • A

    Henry's Law

  • B

    Beer-Lambert Law (A = epsilon * b * c)

  • C

    Raoult's Law

  • D

    Boyle's Law

Explanation

Beer-Lambert law states absorbance is proportional to molar absorptivity, path length, and concentration; a linear A vs c calibration curve confirms it.
