Abstract:
The mole is a unit of measurement that expresses amounts of a chemical substance. Its importance lies in that the mass and the number of molecules of a substance can be determined with this value. In this work, we suggest a mathematical expression that relates the number of moles of the sample studied with the Raman signal and the experimental parameters used. In other words, with this mathematical expression it is possible to obtain quantitative information in a simple manner from Raman spectra. We have applied this method to different samples and we have observed an excellent correlation between the experimental and expected data.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
