Question: Stern-Volmer plot. The table shows intensity and lifetime data for luminescence of the ruthenium complex in Figure 19-21 for a range of oxygen concentrations. a.
Stern-Volmer plot. The table shows intensity and lifetime data for luminescence of the ruthenium complex in Figure 19-21 for a range of oxygen concentrations.

a. Why does the luminescence intensity decrease as the oxygen concentration increases?
b. Plot a Stern-Volmer graph based on fluorescence intensity. Is the calibration linear?
c. Plot a Stern-Volmer graph based on fluorescence lifetime. What type of quenching is indicated by the plot?
