Hey everyone!

I know there were 2 destroyer questions on this, but I never learned this before in gen chem or chads vids. Does this come up, either on the DAT or in practice exams?

Thanks!

There are people that mention Beer's Law coming up in their DAT on several occasions. Here's one thread... http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/its-over-22aa-23ts-23pat.1089131/#post-15523637

If it does it won't be anything more than a calculation questions. Or it might ask you what happens to the concentration if the Absorbance goes up.

Just to answer this question...concentration would increase too right? A=ebc therefore concentration and absorbance are directly related. Just making sure my thought process is right! Thanks! And congrats on your awesome scores!

The Beer Lambert Law is crucial for every student to know. This law relates Absorbance of light to concentration. Any student taking an exam like the DAT should be familiar with this law.

Hope this helps.

My understanding is that it basically says that absorption of light is proportional (linear) to the concentration of the solvent. So if a solution is highly concentrated light is more likely to be attenuated and vice versa.

CORRECT!
