    Introduction: Water is a chemical substance composed atomically of an oxygen atom, and two hydrogen atoms, giving it the chemical formula H2O . It has a bent molecular structure, with the centralised oxygen atom at the top of the molecule with two lone pairs of electrons above it, and the two hydrogen atoms branching out below, each connected to the oxygen by covalent bonds. VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) Theory is utilised in chemistry for the prediction of a molecules geometry.

    Spectrophotometry is an analytical method that measures how much a chemical substance is able to absorb light by measuring the light’s intensity as it passes through a specified sample.3 Given certain wavelengths, the amount of a certain substance in a solution can be determined. The device used to measure these properties is called a spectrophotometer. This device consists of a spectrometer that produces light of any color (wavelength), and a photometer which measures the intensity of the light
