    Background:

    • Beer's Law is fundamental to spectrophotometry for quantifying light-absorbing substances.
    • Traditional spectrophotometry methods can involve complex calibration and data interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel analytical instrument based on photometry.
    • To develop a simplified method for determining the concentration of light-absorbing substances.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an instrument that provides an electrical analog solution to Beer's Law.
    • Incorporated a constant multiplier for direct voltage-to-concentration correlation.
    • Utilized a linear and proportional output for simplified calibration.

    Main Results:

    • The instrument's voltage reading directly corresponds to the concentration of the measured substance.
    • Calibration is achieved by adjusting potential differences between known standard solutions.
    • Unknown solution concentrations are determined by direct voltage readings.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed instrument, termed Potentiophotometry, offers a straightforward method for concentration measurement.
    • Potentiophotometry simplifies spectrophotometric analysis through direct voltage output.
    • This technique leverages potentials generated from light for accurate chemical analysis.
