Beer's Law: Solution Absorbance and Concentration

Students use Chemvue software and either a Wireless Spectrometer (PS-2600) or a Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor (PS-3215) to explore the relationship between solution color, concentration, and light absorbance (Beer's law), and then use that relationship to determine the unknown concentration of a solution.
