This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

Mass Spectroscopy Mass spectroscopy is a method used in science and industry in order to obtain the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules and to detect isotopes in a sample based on their masses. In order to do this the method requires an instrument called the ‘mass spectrometer’‚ of which‚ is able extract accurate information of the relative masses of isotopes and their relative abundance. This makes the mass spectrometer very useful for applications such as carbon dating

Percent Composition Report Hypothesis : By using seperation techniques properly‚ the 3 substance such as; water‚ sand‚ and salt can be seperated and the percent composition of each substance. Which will then be calculated theoritically and after comparison with the actual result‚ the accuracy of the 2 result can be found. Aim : The aim of this experiment is to compare the gravimetric result of the original mixture and the separated substance. The other objective is to calculate each percent

A Penny Saved Is Two Pennies Wasted The United States of America‚ despite its relatively short life‚ is immersed in tradition. While some of these traditions are well-known and apparent‚ others are less obvious. The penny‚ our little copper one-cent piece littering change jars from coast to coast‚ is a tradition that‚ while seemingly harmless‚ is a great burden to our country. Due to the lost profits in the creation of today’s one-cent piece and using the models of previous successful countries

Infrared Spectroscopy Organic Chemistry Lab 301A B. The purpose of this lab is to study Infrared Spectroscopy‚ which focuses on the study of the electromagnetic spectrum. The area to be studied is the infrared region‚ which is made up of gamma‚ X‚ and UV rays. We want to be able to identify spectra’s to their complementary structures. The background of this experiment particularly deals with the study of compound structure determination‚ and traits. We must be aware of the functional groups

2.2.1.6 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is one of several techniques available in analytical atomic spectroscopy. ICP-AES utilizes plasma as the atomization and excitation source. Plasma is an electrically neutral‚ highly ionized gas that consists of ions‚ electrons‚ and atoms. Most analytical plasmas operate with pure argon or helium‚ which makes combustion impossible. Plasmas are characterized by their temperature

Mass spectrometry: Mass spectrum gives the weight of a molecule Mass spectrometer converts sample into ions‚ and that these ions can be further fragmented (broken down) into smaller molecules. Ionisation can be achieved using various different techniques‚ electron ionisation‚ chemical ionisation and Fast atom bombardment. When sample is ionised the analyser portion of the mass spectrometer seperates the molecules based on their mass to charge ratio. A dector then detects
