Maximum Absorbance of Iron in Spectrophotometry
•
3 min read
The average adult human body contains 4–6 grams of iron, making its accurate measurement a critical task in many fields. The maximum absorbance of iron is not a fixed value for the element itself but depends on the specific chemical form, known as a complex, into which it is converted for spectrophotometric analysis. This process is vital for applications ranging from environmental monitoring to pharmaceutical quality control.
