A novel approach to determine the unknown concentration of a soil solution using UV spectrophotometer

Abstract

Concentration is one of the primitive aspects of chemistry, which describes the extent of the abundance of a solute in a given solution. Determining the concentration of a solution that does not has a chemical formula and with unknown molecular weight is one of the difficult topics. In this study, we have analyzed the concentration of such solutions using comprehensive mathematics along with the Beer-Lambert law for the UV spectrophotometer results. Experimental studies were conducted using the standard solutions of Biochar, Coir, Wood bark, and Sawdust which were extracted from the same Coccus Nucifera species to verify the equality of concentrations. Solutions were prepared by mixing the raw materials with water at 1:2 (w/w) ratio. The hypothetical concentrations of solutions were in the same range since each of the specimens contains the similar type of organic content and all the solutions were prepared in the same organic content: water empirical ratios. The objective of the study was achieved by proving that the concentration found using this novel approach for each specimen is almost equal since the specimens are from the same origin, which simultaneously verified the hypothetical concentrations are the same through mathematical computations. A comprehensive understanding of finite integrals is compulsory to get proficiency with this method. Furthermore, this approach is applicable to finding the concentration of any soil solutions. The benefit of this model has vast scopes in the future at resolving several queries related to medical, commercial, scientific, and industrial issues related to the concentration of solutions.
