Abstract | This work combines laboratory quantitative analysis of colored solutions and common devices for digital imaging (digital or web cameras or mobile phones, i.e., smartphones). ColorX software, specially designed for this study, was used for data collection and analysis in order to calculate concentrations of colored solutions from measured RGB values. Three different custom methods for determination of concentration have been developed: (i) RGB value measurement by pixel, (ii) RGB value measurement by pixel and Gaussian blur, and (iii) calculation of average RGB value of the selected image area. The performance of the developed software, ColorX, is demonstrated using different colored solutions, KMnO[subscript 4] (purple), CoSO[subscript 4] (red), NiSO[subscript 4] (green), and CuSO[subscript 4] (blue) solutions, as well as the Lowry protein assay (blue) in terms of its determination of the concentrations of unknown samples. The most suitable and effective method for studying the mentioned solutions was the calculation of an average RGB value for a selected image area. ColorX software is primarily designed for accessibility and simplicity, with the aim of promoting and encouraging students to explore and discover potential applications for digital imaging technology in basic analytical chemistry concepts.
