Experiment 13 Determination of the pKa of an Acid-base Indicator
Spectroscopy is the science of the analysis of light. The proportions of specific wavelengths of light absorbed by a sample depend on the nature of the absorbing molecules and their concentration in the sample. In this experiment you will use this idea to determine the protonation equilibrium constant for an acid base Indicator molecule.
