Comparison of Stern-Volmer Plots

• Quenching Efficiency

  • Iodide is most efficient at quenching quinine
  • Bromide is intermediate
  • Chloride is least efficient

• The order of efficiency follows size

• Stern-Volmer plot for Iodide quenching is nonlinear.

  • The data fit a quenching sphere of action model
