calibration curves

[TrueTears]

this doesn't really have anything to do with chem but i just wanna point out a line is a curve (well at least according to euclidean geometry, not sure how many of you out there are abstract geometrists)  :2funny: so u are actually drawing a curve

BAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

Oh TT. You are a legend. You know that right.

lololololol haha i just had an urge to point that out LOL

lololololol haha i just had an urge to point that out LOL

yes because euclidean geometry was considered when they named it the calibration curve

haha

lol shows why chemists will never be true mathematicians

thought that was pretty obvious - they are chemists, not mathematicians lolzzzzzz

ok i'll stop now

not really chemists use more numbers than pure mathematicians, you could say they are more mathematical in nature.

Nah I kid.

but yes, kudos to kids who've taken their time to research the topic. The Generalized Beer-Lambert law only holds when there's no (or very small amount) of intermolecular interactions (i.e. the compound you are studying do not interact with each other).

As concentration gets large, these interactions become significant, and can often result in polymerization, coordination and all sorts of crazy things, which changes just about every parameter in the generalized Beer-Lambert law.

The accuracy (and linearity) of a spectrometer thus is really limited by the sensitivity of the optical detector. More sensitive optical detectors can detect smaller changes in concentrations, thus allow the use of lower concentrations, and more empirically correct data.

lol opps i forgot, add exception: Mao
