How probable for this electronic excitation? (allowed transition, or forbidden)
judged by the range of = 104 -105 L mol-1 cm-1, strong absorption < 103 L mol-1 cm-1, low intensity
*MhM excitation
1.2 Which electron get excited?1.2.1 Organic molecules
, (bonding) and n (non-bonding) orbitals*, * (anti-bonding) orbitals
* E large ( < 150 nm, out of range) = 10 -10,000 Lmol-1cm-1
n * E smaller ( = 150 - 250 nm) = 200-2000 Lmol-1cm-1

2.2 Application of Beer’s law to mixtures
Absorbance is additive
Atotal = A1 + A2 + … = 1bc1 + 2bc2
For a 2-component mixture, we measure the absorption at two different wavelength, respectively
A1 = 1,1·b·c1 + 2,1·b·c2
A2 = 1,2·b·c1 + 2,2·b·c2
2.3 Limitations of Beer’s law
2.3.1 Real deviations
At low concentration
A = -log T = log (P0/P) = ··b·c
At c > 0.01 M solute-solute interaction, hydrogen-bond, …can alter the electronic absorption at a given wavelength
dilute the solution
2.3.2 Chemical effects analyte associates, dissociates or reacts with a solvent to
give molecule with different

How to avoid :
Select a wavelength band near its maximum absorption where the absorptivity changes little with wavelength

3.2 Sources of instrumental noise Case I Limited readout resolution (31/2-digit displays 0.1% uncertainty from 0%T -100% T) Thermal noise in thermal detector, etc (particularly for IR and neat IR spectrophotometer)
Case IIShot noise in photon detector (random emission of photon from the light source orrandom emission of electrons from the cathode in a detector)
Case III Flicker noise,
Fail to position sample and blank cells reproducibly in replicate measurements (as a result, different sections of cell window are exposed to radiation, and reflection and scattering losses change)

Advantage of double beam configuration
• Compensate for fluctuation in the radiant output, drift in transducer, etc.
• Continuous recording of spectra

d. Effects of monchromator exit slit width on spectraNarrow exit slit width improves the spectrum resolutionbut it also significantly reduce the radiant power
Trade-off between resolution and S/N ratio
