Abstract:Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy provides color information on organic compounds during chemical reactions. Absorption spectra of a pH indicator during protonation show absorption bands from electronic transitions based on molecular structure. Information from the bands including the wavelength of maximum absorption and calculated molar extinction coefficient can provide specific parameters for the reactant (the indicator) and the product (the protonated indicator). However, these parameters never directly pre… Show more
