pectroscopy Handout). The equation for this is
To make this an equation, we must introduce a constant. The molar extinction coefficient (e) is a constant that represents the absorbance of a 1 M solution when the light path distance is 1 cm (Spectroscopy Handout). The equation produced is
When constructing a standard curve, Beer's Law implies a straight line. The molar extinction coefficient will be equ
