Course Instructor: Cynthia Spencer Purpose
The purpose of this experiment was to construct a Beer’s Law Plot, determine the concentration of a sample using the Beer’s law plot, and to determine the concentration of Blue Dye #1 in a commercial product using visual Colorimetry. Procedure
This lab consisted of calculating %T of given data and constructing a Beer’s Law plow. Secondly, …show more content…
In other words, the M concentration must be between 2.85 x 10-4 M and 3.15 x 10-4 M. Does Batch 021015 meets the legal requirements?
Since, average concentration of M in the batch Q is 2.16 x 10^-4 M where as the requirement is between 2.85 x 10-4 M and 3.15 x 10-4 M. Therefore, the batch does not need legal requirement.
Exercise 2 The concentration of Blue Dye #1 found in the Gatorade Cool Blue was determined to be 1.8x10^-4.
Conclusions
This experiment was designed to explore the methodologies behind determining the concentration of compounds using both qualitative and quantitative data. The conclusions that can be drawn from Experiment 2 and 3 are that the company reported concentrations in sample Q021015 are not accurate and based upon the sampling data the %error of the samples are 38.89%, which do not meet legal requirements. Through visual colorimetry it was determined that the concentration of Blue Dye #1 is 1.8x10^-4 moles. This experiment was a success, due to the fact that all objectives were met and satisfactory understanding of the materials was
