Q1.

What is Chromophore and molarabsorptivity

Chromophore: part of a molecule that absorbs UV or visible light.
molarabsorptivity:Itistheabsorbancethatwouldbeobservedfora1.00Msolutionina
cellwitha1.00-cmpathlength.
Q2. What type of cells can be used for UV and Vis spectroscopy?
Either glass or quartz cells can be used for visible spectra, but quartz cells must
be used for UV spectra because glass absorbs UV light.
Q3. What is the effect of conjugation on max and ?
both the max and the increase as the number of conjugated double bonds
increases.
Q4. Which of the following molecule have max at higher wavelength and
why?

Q5. What are the criteria for an organic molecule to be UV active?

Ans. Unsaturation ( double bond or triple bond)
Q6. What are the preliminary criteria for using UV-Vis spectroscopy for
monitoring a reaction?
Ans: Either reactant is UV-Vis active or product is UV-Vis active or both UV-Vis
active.
Q7. Which is higher in energy per photon, electromagnetic radiation with wave
number 100 cm-1 or 2000 cm-1?
Ans: Use energy equation 2000 cm -1
