About this resource

This resource provides 10 questions to allow for practice which cover Beer's Law.

The use of formulas A = εlc and A = 2 – log(%T) is expected so that students will practice determining the unknown concentrations, absorptions, and transmittance.

The tables or graphs needed for references are included.

This resource can be edited to meet your lessons' needs.

The answers are provided.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Calculate an unknown concentration or absorbance using A = εlc

  • Convert between percent transmittance and absorbance using A = 2 − log(%T)

  • Determine a calibration slope from absorbance and concentration data

Skills covered

  • Applying formulas — students rearrange A = εlc to solve for the missing value

  • Reading data — students pull values from tables and a spectrum graph
