The Linear Relationship between Concentrations and UV Absorbance of Nitrobenzene

Abstract:

This paper researched the linear relationship between UV absorbance and concentrations of nitrobenzene. It used the UV-1700 UV/VIS spectroscopy to get the absorbance diagram and analyze it. Then it calculated the absorbance of maximum absorption peak and the absorbance integration in a wavelength interval. There is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration, the correlation coefficient is 0.981 of the maximum absorption peaks and the concentrations, and the largest correlation coefficient between concentrations and the integration of absorbance is 0.995 with the wavelength interval of 235-245 nm, which is between the two absorption peaks of 210 nm and 270 nm. Therefore, it’s a good way to use integration of absorbance in the middle of two absorption peaks to measure the concentration of nitrobenzene, which is more accurate and reliable.
