Concentration from Absorbance Formula
The following formula is used to calculate a concentration from absorbance.
C = A / (L * e)
- Where A is the absorbance
- L is the path length
- e is the extinction coefficient
To calculate the concentration from absorbance, divide the absorbance by the product of the path length and extinction coefficient.
Concentration Definition
A concentration is defined as the total amount of a substance in a given space.
