Theory5.1 Photoelectric photometry is based on Bouguers andBeers (or the Lambert-Beer) laws which are combined in th

21、efollowing expression:P 5 Po102abcwhere:P = transmitted radiant power,Po= incident radiant power, or a quantity proportional to it,as measured with pure solvent in the beam,a = absorptivity, a constant characteristic of the solutionand the frequency of the incident radiant energy,b = internal cell l

22、ength (usually in centimetres) of thecolumn of absorbing material, andc = concentration of the absorbing substance, g/L.5.2 Transmittance, T, and absorbance, A, have the followingvalues:T 5 P/PoA 5 log101/T! 5 log10Po/P!where P and Pohave the values given in 5.1.5.3 From the transposed form of the B

23、ouguer-Beerequation, A = abc, it is evident that at constant b, a plot of Aversus c gives a straight line if Beers law is followed. This linewill pass through the origin if the practice of cancelling outsolvent reflections and absorption and other blanks is em-ployed.5.4 In photometry it is customar

24、y to make indirect compari-son with solutions of known concentration by means ofcalibration curves or charts. When Beers law is obeyed andwhen a satisfactory instrument is employed, it is possible todispense with the curve or chart. Thus, from the transposedform of the Bouguer-Beer law, c = A/ab, it

25、 is evident that oncea has been determined for any system, c can be obtained, sinceb is known and A can be measured.5.5 The value for a can be obtained from the equationa = A/cb by substituting the measured value of A for a given band c. Theoretically, in the determination of a for an absorbingsyste

26、m, a single measurement at a given wavelength on asolution of known concentration will suffice. However, it issafer to use the average value obtained with three or moreconcentrations, covering the range over which the determina-tions are likely to be made and making several readings at eachconcentra

27、tion. The validity of the Bouguer-Beer law for aparticular system can be tested by showing that a remainsconstant when b and c are changed.APPARATUS6. General Requirements for Photometers andSpectrophotometers6.1 A photoelectric photometer consists essentially of thefollowing:NOTE 1The choice of an

28、instrument may naturally be based on priceconsiderations, since there is no point in using a more elaborate (and,incidentally, more expensive) instrument than is necessary. In addition tosatisfactory performance from the purely physical standpoint, the instru-ment should be compact, rugged enough to

29、 stand routine use, and notrequire too much manipulation. The scales should be easily read, and theabsorption cells should be easily removed and replaced, as the clearing,refilling, and placing of the cells in the instrument consume a majorportion of the time required. It is advantageous to have an

30、instrument thatpermits the use of cells of different depth (see Practice E275).6.1.1 An illuminant (radiant energy source),6.1.2 A device for selecting relatively monochromatic radi-ant energy (consisting of a diffraction grating or a prism withselection slit, or a filter),6.1.3 One or more absorpti

31、on cells to hold the sample,calibration, reagent blank, or reference solutions, and6.1.4 An arrangement for photometric measurement of theintensity of the transmitted radiant energy, consisting of one ormore photocells or photosensitive tubes, and suitable devicesfor measuring current or potential.6

32、.2 Precision instruments that employ monochromators ca-pable of supplying radiant energy of high purity at any chosenwavelength within their range are usually referred to asspectrophotometers. Instruments employing filters are knownas filter photometers or abridged spectrophotometers, andusually iso

33、late relatively broad bands of radiant energy. Fre-quently the absorption peak of the compound being measuredis relatively broad, and sufficient accuracy can be obtainedusing a fairly broad band (10 nm to 75 nm) of radiant energyfor the measurement (Note 2). Other times the absorptionpeaks are narro

34、w, and radiant energy of high purity (1 nm to 10nm) is required. This applies particularly if accurate values areto be obtained in those systems of measurement based on theadditive nature of absorbance values.NOTE 2One nanometre (nm) equals one millimicron (m).7. Types of Photometers and Spectrophot

35、ometers7.1 Single-Photocell InstrumentsIn most single-photocellinstruments, the radiant energy passes from the monochroma-tor or filter through the reference solution to a photocell. TheE60 11 (2016)2photocurrent is measured by a galvanometer or a microamme-ter and its magnitude is a measure of the

36、incident radiantpower, Po. An identical absorption cell containing the solutionof the absorbing component is now substituted for the cellcontaining the reference solution and the power of the trans-mitted radiant energy, P, is measured. The ratio of the currentcorresponding to P to that of Pogives t

37、he transmittance, T,ofthe absorbing solution, provided the illuminant and photocellare constant during the interval in which the two photocurrentsare measured. It is customary to adjust the photocell output sothat the galvanometer or microammeter reads 100 on thepercentage scale or zero on the logar

38、ithmic scale when theincident radiant power is Po, in order that the scale will readdirectly in percentage transmittance or absorbance. This ad-justment is usually made in one of three ways. In the firstmethod, the position of the cross-hair or pointer is adjustedelectrically by means of a resistanc

39、e in the photocell-galvanometer circuit. In the second method, adjustment ismade with the aid of a rheostat in the source circuit (Note 3).The third method of adjustment controls the quantity of radiantenergy striking the photocell with the aid of a diaphragmsomewhere in the path of radiant energy.N

40、OTE 3Kortm (3) has noted on theoretical grounds this method ofcontrols is faulty, since the change in voltage applied to the lamp not onlychanges the radiant energy emitted but also alters its chromaticity.Actually, however, instruments employing this principle are giving goodservice in industry, so

41、 the errors involved evidently are not excessive.7.2 Two-Photocell InstrumentsTo eliminate the effect offluctuation of the source, many types of two-photocell instru-ments have been proposed. Most of these are good, but somehave poorly designed circuits and do not accomplish thepurpose for which the

42、y are designed. Following is a briefdescription of two types of two-photocell photometers andspectrophotometers that have been found satisfactory:7.2.1 lution and are focused on their respective photocells.Prior to insertion of the sample, the reference solution is placedin both absorption cells, an

43、d the photocells are balanced withthe aid of a potentiometric bridge circuit. Since b is defined asthe internal cell length, the cancellation of radiant energy lostat the glass-liquid interfaces and within the glass must beaccomplished by inserting the reference solution in the absorp-tion cells. Th

44、e reference solution and sample are then insertedand the balance reestablished by manipulation of the potenti-ometer until the galvanometer again reads zero. By choosingsuitable resistances and by using a graduated slide wire, thescale of the latter can be made to read directly in transmittance.It i

45、s important that both photocells show linear response, andthat they have identical radiation sensitivity if the light is notmonochromatic.7.2.2 The second type of two-photocell instrument is similarto the first, but part of the radiant energy from the source ispassed through an absorption cell to th

46、e first photocell; theremainder is impinged on the second photocell without,however, passing through an absorption cell.Adjustment of thecalibrated slide wire to read 100 on the percentage scale, withthe reference solution in the cell, is accomplished by rotatingthe second photocell. The reference s

47、olution is then replacedby the sample and the slide wire is turned until the galvanom-eter again reads zero.8. Radiation Source8.1 In most of the commercially available instruments theilluminant is an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament.This type of illuminant is not ideal for all work. For e

48、xample,when an analysis calls for the use of radiant energy ofwavelengths below 400 nm, it is necessary to maintain thefilament at as high a temperature as possible in order to obtainsufficient radiant energy to ensure the necessary sensitivity forthe measurements. This is especially true when opera

49、ting witha photovoltaic cell, for the response of the latter falls offquickly in the near ultraviolet. The use of high-temperaturefilament sources may lead to serious errors in photometricwork if adequate ventilation is not provided in the instrumentin order to dissipate the heat.Another important source of errorresults from the change of the shape of the energy distributioncurve with age. As a lamp is used, tungsten will be vaporizedand deposited on the walls. As this condensation proceeds,there is a decrease in the radiation power emitted and, in someinstances,
