UV-Vis standards

  • Standards needed to be made of R6G in order to calculate the amount of dye that was absorbed and how much dye remains in the solution.

Molar Absorptivity of R6G: 116000 LMol-1cm-1 Assumed stock concentration: .005 M

  • Because the absorbance of R6G is so high, standard concentrations needed to be diluted to below 8 μM.

Table 1. Standard concentrations in 2mL solutions

Standard Concentrations (uM) Actual Concentration (M) Absorbance
0 0 0
2 1.59483E-06 0.185
4 3.18966E-06 0.37
6 4.78448E-06 0.555
8 6.37931E-06 0.74

  • The concentration of the original stock solution was 398.7μM

Notes

-These samples were left for too long without being tested and resulted in some of the dye releasing out of the complexes. For this reason, UV-Vis of these samples were not fully run and new samples were made.
