Determining the Absorbance Maximum Wavelength and Molar Extinction Coefficient to Find the Molarity of the Unknown DCPIP Background Information: A spectrophotometer is an instrument used to help determine the absorption spectrum of chemicals. It does this by reading the absorbance of the chemical at different wavelengths. All chemicals absorb light in their own distinct way. This distinction helps to identify unknown chemicals. The absorption of light within a chemical is also very important because

S5E1 Gaseous Diffusion 1.0 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ our objective is to find out the gas diffusion coefficient‚ D of acetone in the air. This experiment is conducted at a temperature of 50ºC and atmospheric pressure. The method that is applied to conduct this experiment is called the Winkleman method where the level of acetone (Z) is determined every 15 minutes by using a microscope. With the level of acetone being determined‚ a graph of t/L+Lo (min /mm) vs. L-Lo (mm) is plotted and the

Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

Ideal Gas Law Lab 1. Procedure: First‚ we used a balance to weigh the canister of gas‚ and recorded that mass as the original weight. Then‚ we filled a large bucket with water and recorded the temperature. We then filled a small test tube with water at the same temperature and poured that water into a graduated cylinder to measure the original volume of water in the tube. We then poured the water back into the test tube and placed the tube into the bucket with the opening upwards‚ turning the

To study the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. 2. To study the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure. Principles involved: When gases are compared‚ their volumes‚ temperatures and pressure are always involved. The volume of a gas is identical to the volume of the container

Summary of Lab Procedure If not already completed‚ crush a small amount of BHT and pack it into a capillary tube. Use a small rubber band to clamp the capillary tube to the thermometer‚ and fasten the thermometer to a ring stand. Fill a Thiele tube

The Ideal Gas Law was needed in order to calculate the mass of reactants and moles of gas produced: ‚ where is the pressure in atm‚ is the volume in Liters‚ is the number of moles‚ is the ideal gas constant [0.082 (Latm)/(Kmol)]‚ and is the temperature in Kelvins. Considering the units on R‚ it was important to convert pressure‚ volume‚ and temperature to atm‚ L‚ and K‚ respectively. In this investigation‚ the volume of reaction space needed

Lab: Gas Laws Purpose: Obtain a reference of temperatures effect on gas using Charles’ law when heating a capillary tube in water on a heated hot plate. Then‚ cooling the same capillary tube with ice while measuring the temperatures cooling effect on the gas bubble inside the capillary tube. Measurements of temperature change are taken with microLAB sensor and graphed using microLAB software. A final determination of experiments determined absolute zero versus actual absolute zero will be

The Ideal Gas Law Lab taught me that hydrogen is lighter than air‚ and can be ignited. The materials used for the experiment include 0.05 grams of magnesium‚ 1M H2SO4‚ water‚ a 100mL graduated cylinder‚ and a beaker. The hydrogen can be ignited with a match. First‚ the beaker is filled with water. The acid is then added to the graduated cylinder‚ with about ¾ inch left at the top‚ which is space for water. Afterward‚ the magnesium is added to the graduated cylinder‚ and it is inverted upside down
