Experiment 4 Spectroscopic study of Cu(II) Complexes: Crystal Field Theory Objective: To study the effect of ligands on crystal field splitting energy ( E) Theory The color of coordination compounds of the transition elements is one of their characteristic properties. These colors are due to the absorption and subsequent emission of light in the visible part of the spectrum. Light in this region of the spectrum caused promotion of d–electrons from a lower to a higher energy level. The

Comment on how the use of materials affect the meaning and appearance of two buildings Two buildings where the materials affect the appearances of the buildings‚ are The Trellick Tower and The Crystal Palace. The Trellick Tower was constructed in 1968-72 by Erno Goldfinger. The tower is 322 feet tall and is 31 stories high and is situated in North Kensington. It was built for the Greater London Council and contains 217 flats. It was constructed during a period where building high social housing

Optical Properties of Quasicrystals: Negative Refraction Quasicrystals‚ or crystals that display the unusual property of non-periodicity (while remaining ordered)‚ were discovered in the 1980s by Dan Shechtman. A highly controversial topic‚ Shechtman did not produce a paper describing them for over two years after their discovery. However‚ within the past 30 years‚ the scientific community has come to accept them‚ reproduce them for study‚ and even award Dan Shechtman with a Nobel Prize for their

reactions are often contaminated with impurities. One method for purifying chemicals‚ recrystallization‚ takes advantage of the differences in the solubilities of the desired products and the impurities and the tendency for the slow formation of crystals to exclude impurities from the crystalline solid. HC HC HC CH C CH MgBr + CO2 + HCl HC HC HC CH C CH CO2H ClMgBr Benzoic acid‚ the chemical that we will be purifying‚ can be made by reacting phenylmagnesium bromide with carbon dioxide. When the

During the synthesis of acetaminophen‚ it is necessary to dissolve all solid material‚ and heat the reaction at a high enough temperature and for a long enough time period to ensure completion. Cooling the mixture in an ice bath ensures that all crystals have formed‚ and drying removes any remaining solvent. The synthesis of acetaminophen does not result in a pure product‚ so recrystallization is necessary to purify the substance. During recrystallization‚ it is important to dissolve all

Because chemists always want to get the chemicals they get as pure as possible. And a good way to purify chemicals is to make crystals of them. When they are in solutions you can have all sort of impunities but when they form crystals the crystals contain much purer compounds than in the solution and the impurities are left in the solution. generally the crystal is a very precise arrangement of molecules all the same fitting together like pieces and some sort of construction toy ‚the impurity

to the same amount of boiling water and allow it to be cooled‚ than the one with the additional cup of sugar will be the one that grows more crystals. I determined that my hypothesis was correct. The glass I chose to add the pure cane sugar did grow much more crystals at a more rapid pace. The purpose of my experiment is to grow a large amount of crystals on a wooden skewer. Rock candy is a candy made with sugar that I chose to attempt to grow on a wooden skewer. This delicious candy is actually

Observations: *Many crystals formed at the bottom of the jar as well as on the string *Thick layer of crystals on the bottom of the jar *More/thicker crystallization around the paper clip area *Equal width/size around the string *Higher altitude of crystals only on the right half of the jar *Slight crust of crystallization on the top solution (along the rim of the jar) *Solution without movement/stiff and very viscose Discussion Questions: 1. Why does the string need to be soaked

Making Rock Candy Question/Hypothesis: How does the presence of seed crystals change the growth rate of rock candy? If you add seed crystals to the rock candy than they will grow faster because molecules will attract faster. Procedure: 1. Cut out 6 pieces of yarn. Two strings one inch‚ two strings two inches‚ and two strings three inches. 2. Soak one measurement of each string in water for five minutes. 3. Squeeze excess water and roll each onto a tablespoon of water. 4.
