    Colorimeter

    The document describes using a colorimeter probe to measure the absorbance of different concentrations of food coloring solutions. Students create solutions of varying concentrations and collect absorbance measurements to graph. The linear relationship between concentration and absorbance observed in the graph demonstrates Beer's Law. The experiment allows students to practice concentration calculations and learn about linear graphs and lines of best fit.

    The Colorimeter Probe

    And integrated math and science approach. Rachel, Melissa, Kerrie, Nathan, Matt, & Beth

    Absorbance and Concentration


    Beers Law states that there is a linear relationship between the concentration of a solution and its absorbance. A = epsilon * b * C, b = width of cuvette

    Our Experiment
    We used different amounts of food coloring in water and measured each solutions absorbance using the colorimeter. The following slide is the somewhat linear graph we got from our experiment. Its not exact because of experimental error.

    The Math of It
    Students will discover whether or not this graph is linear, why it is linear, and how it relates to Beers Law and the equation y = mx + b. We could also find the line of best fit and discuss how to find that on a given graph. This is most appropriate for an Algebra II class.

    Science!
    Students will make the different concentrations of solutions for their samples (in moles/liter). This gives them practice in making solutions. This would best fit in an intro. or upper level chemistry class.

    Math, Science, and Inquiry


    We would encourage students to inquire about other data they could collect, such as using different colors. The students could be asked to explore more options that they come up with on their own.
