Pertaining to cuvette use with a Spectrovis, identify actions that negatively affect the absorbance reading of...
A student measures the absorbance of a solution containing FeSON on using a spectrophotometer. The cuvette used by the student has two frosted walls and two transparent walls. The student properly orients the cuvette so that the path of the light goes through the transparent sides of the cuvette when calibrating the spectrophotometer. How will the measured absorbance of the FeSCN be affected if the student incorrectly orients the cuvette so that the path of the light is through the...
Part I. Prepare and Test Standard Solutions 1. Obtain and wear goggles. 2. Label four small beakers 1-4. Obtain small volumes of 0.200 M Fe(NO3)3, 0.0020 M SCN-, and distilled water. Prepare four solutions according to the chart below Use graduated cylinders to measure the solutions. Mix each solution thoroughly Measure and record the temperature of either of the solutions - remember that the equilibrium constant (Kea) depends on temperature. Don't cross-contaminate the solutions. Technical note 1: The Fe(NO3)3 solutions...
Beer’s Law Objective : We will explore an application of absorption spectroscopy using calibration curves and Beer’s Law. Use the “LAB : HOW TO…” link from the class website if you need help with how to use balance, Bunsen burner… and such. Introduction: You may write this information in your lab notebook for your own reference. It can’t be cut and pasted. Different solutions have different spectral properties. In this portion of the experiment those properties will be utilized to...
7. The Absorption Spectrum of Cobalt(II) Chloride Procedure Getting Started 1. Your laboratory instructor may ask that you work in groups rather than alone. 2. Obtain directions from your laboratory instructor for discarding the solutions that you will use in'! this experiment. 3. Obtain instructions for using your spectrophotometer. 4. Obtain your unknown. Making the Measurements 1. Mark each of 7 dry 18 x 150-mm test tubes with one of a series of identification numbers running from 1 to 7....
