Absorption bands on electronic spectra

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing electronic spectra for cobalt complexes, specifically how to identify and mark absorption bands. Users are advised to mark the bands at the top of the peaks on the spectra printout. The conversation confirms that the spectra in question are UV/VIS. Additionally, participants suggest tabulating the \lambdamax values alongside the corresponding absorbance values for clarity. Proper marking and tabulation are essential for accurate analysis of the spectra.

I have several electronic spectra for different cobalt complexes which I need to analyse. I am fine with finding \lambdamax and the molar absorption coefficient etc. However it also asks me to mark absorption bands on the printout and tabulate \lambdamax values and absorbance values for these bands. I am unsure on how this should be done and where to mark the bands.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
