Luminol Synthesis Lab Report
Luminol solutions use oxidation reactions to create the bright, luminescent, blue emission. In order to discover which additive enhances that glow the most and for the longest, I studied the data of several tests with varying enhancers added to the luminol. The substances to be compared in this study are as follows: cysteine, Cu (II), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS-NPs).
The first experiment focused on the reaction between alkaline luminol H2O2, the most common luminol solution, and cysteine, one of the twenty essential amino acids. In this experiment, 105 g=mL cysteine solution, 2.0 105 mol=L Cu(II) solution, and the mixture of 1.0 105 g=mL cysteine with 2.0 105 mol=L Cu(II) were tested. However, no
