SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the impact of color change on UV-Vis spectrometry readings at 270 nm, specifically in the context of phenol adsorption using activated carbon. The original colorless solution turns pale yellow after contact with the adsorbent, raising concerns about potential interference in spectrometric analysis. It is established that color changes can affect absorbance readings, potentially skewing results if not accounted for. Researchers must consider the implications of color on spectrometric data interpretation.
