Abstract

We show the trend for absorbance with concentration of sugar in aqueous solution deviates from theory. The aqueous solutions of sugar were prepared using High Purity Laboratory Chemical (HPLC) reagent sucrose in grade-3 de-ionized water. The sucrose solution was found to have an absorption band between 450
