How deep is your blue? Coloured chemistry with smartphones
In this activity students use a smartphone to determine the precise amount of copper in an aqueous solution of nitric acid. Students collect comparative values of different copper-solutions with special apps to produce a diagram and estimate the amount of copper, based on the Lambert-Beer Law that explains that the absorption of light is proportional to the concentration of the dissolved colorant.
