of electron through the electron transport chain can be measured using DCPIP‚ a blue chemical which turns colourless when reduced by electrons at the final step of the electron transport chain. The absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer at 605nm‚ and the rate of linear decrease in absorbance over time represents the number of electrons flowing through the electron transport chain reflecting the relative rate of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts only absorb certain wavelengths in the electromagnetic

The absorbance of the tube with the extract and acetone solution was then tested for its absorbency. These tests were repeated with the same solution at 40 nm intervals‚ until the wavelength reached 740 nm‚ re-blanking the machine between each test or change in wavelength. All the absorbencies were recorded‚ and the areas with the highest absorbance were retested at 5 nm intervals. The results were then plotted on Excel to show the relationship between certain wavelengths and the absorbance of the

wavelengths and can be defined by the equation A = log (Io/I). This equation states that an absorbance at a specific wavelength‚ A is equal to the log of the ratio of incident light intensity (Io)‚ to transmitted light intensity (I). A spectrophotometer can be used quantitatively and qualitatively. A spectrophotometer is used qualitatively to obtain an absorption spectrum‚ which can be obtained by plotting the absorbance values‚ over the range of wavelengths tested for the solution. This helps to find out

After we labeled two test tubes which were #5 and #10‚ we inserted water first to set 0 absorbance‚ then we used #5 sample to read it and record absorbance. At this time‚ we set spectronic 20 again for sample #10 by taking sample #5 out and inserted water to set transmittance to 0 then we took the water sample out and inserted #10 sample to read it and record the results. We measured the absorbance of most highly colored tube at wavelength of

[Fe(SCN)]2+ complex which is a product of the reaction between the ions Fe3+ and SCN-. In performing this experiment‚ solutions containing FeCl3 and KSCN‚ diluted in HCl‚ were measured for their absorbance using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Upon computing for the molar concentrations of the reagents‚ determining absorbance‚ and noting the length pathway of the instrument (cuvette)‚ the Beer-Lambert’s law was applied to find the molar absorptivity constant‚ denoted ε. Having found ε‚ the equilibrium concentrations

light that gets through the sample. This is shown as a percent of all the possible light that could’ve gotten through. Absorbance is the opposite of transmittance and the reciprocal of it. This shows how much light got trapped in the solute. In this lab we will use a few different solutions in the spectrophotometer to get a basic feel on how it works. We will record the absorbance as well as do calculations using mean and standard deviation. We will then graph our results and compare them with the

nitrate solution was added to 100 mL of the KSCN solution and mixed. Being that the spectrophotometer (the instrument being used to measure absorbance) was already zeroed by the teaching assistant‚ the construction of the calibration curve could begin. To start‚ the cuvette was filled with the current mixture‚ placed into the spectrophotometer‚ and the absorbance was recorded. The cuvette was then emptied back into the beaker containing the entire solution‚ as not to skew the overall volume‚ and therefore

aim of the experiment was to determine the enthalpy (ΔH)‚ entropy (ΔS) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for the Rhodamine β-Lactone Equilibrium. To accomplish this‚ a manual spectrophotometer was used to determine the maximum absorbance of a sample of Rhodamine β-Lactone. The absorbance of the sample was then measured over a range of temperatures from which the equilibrium constant (K)‚ enthalpy (ΔH)‚ entropy (ΔS) and Gibbs free energy were then calculated.

They are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. Enzymes are precise and catalyze only detailed reaction. Specificity is an outcome of active site of enzyme that acts on the substrate. Catecholase‚ which catalyzes a reaction in which catechol‚ then catechol becomes
