The Absorption Spectrum of Cobalt(II) Chloride Thang Dinh Lab partner: Alex Yang CHM 151 – 102 11/17/2014 Introduction: Many compounds absorb a certain spectrum of visible light. Since Beer’s Law describe the relationship between molar absorptivity and concentration‚ one could use his equation A = kc to find the unknown concentration by the known absorptivity. The graph of absorption spectrum is represented by a linear regression. From the graph‚ one could deduct that as the concentration decreases

Electromagnetic energy‚ in the form of light‚ travels in wavelengths and is measured in nanometres (nm). Pigments within matter‚ such as plants‚ absorb varying wavelengths of light. The absorption spectrum can be defined as a graphical representation of a pigment’s ability to absorb light against varying wavelengths (nm). The pigments light absorbing ability is measured using a spectrophotometer. An action spectrum can be defined as the graphical representation of the rate of photosynthesis against wavelengths

The purpose of this paper is to help analyze or compare pigments from two organisms. Chromatogram is the pattern that the chromatography paper has created from its substances. A retention factor‚ also abbreviated as an Rf value‚ is the measurement of the distance that the sample had traveled. The formula for an Rf value is migration distance of solvent front divided by migration distance of substance. An Rf value is the distance the pigment travels from the original spot‚ which is the dot‚ of solvent

INTRODUCTION Plant pigments consist of four main chemicals. These are Chlorophylls‚ The carotenoids‚ Anthocyanin and Betacaine. The aims of this experiment is to separate the plant pigment into different colours using solvents and column chromatography. The hypothesis of this experiment is that this plant pigment from spinach will contain the chlorophyll pigment or may contain the others too. Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll a is the main component of the plant pigments. This is used for the most

BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because

Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength. Introduction Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the sunlight to convert it from light energy into chemical energy. This equation shows us how

REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while phycobilins

use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions: 1. Describe
