The History of Paint Pigments Chem 111-404 April 24‚ 2013 Introduction: This report expresses five different pigments that were formed during chemical reactions. Three out of the total five reactions went through a metathesis‚ or double-replacment reaction. A metathesis reaction can be defined as “a chemical reaction in which an element or radical in one compound exchanges places with another element or radical in another compound.” (Webster). The other two pigments underwent a neutralization

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

Using Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based upon looking at the pigments individual molecule structures
Premium Visible spectrum Electromagnetic radiation Light
Introduction Spectrophotometer is an optical instrument that measures and shows how much light energy is transmitted by a substance in solution at different wavelengths of radiant energy. Light passes into a monochromator where only a very narrow range of wavelengths can pass through. From there‚ light is transmitted through a sample solution‚ and on to a phototube where the light energy is converted to an electric current that is registered on a meter. To measure the amount of light absorbed by the

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

hypothesis for this experiment‚ the study of the effects of different wavelengths on leaf pigments‚ if chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet light‚ chlorophyll b absorbs blue light‚ carotene absorbs blue-green light‚ and xanthophyll absorbs blue light‚ then wavelengths of greatest absorption will be 400‚ 450‚ 500‚ and 450 respectively. Independent Variable: Wavelengths Dependent Variable: optimum wavelengths of light for absorption Standard Variable: method of measurement‚ what was measured Predictions:

Determination of Trace Amount of Copper and Zinc in an Aqueous Solution by Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze a sample containing copper and zinc in trace amounts‚ where standard addition method was used and the instrument used is the atomic absorbance spectroscopy. The amount of copper obtained was 0.569 ppm ± 0.015 and for zinc we obtained 0.42 ppm ± 0.0027. Introduction: This method implies the excitation of particles in the solution sample

Aim: To see how chlorophyll pigments absorb electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths‚ with the use of a spectrophotometer to vary the wavelength of incident light‚ and then plot an absorption spectrum. Hypothesis: The chlorophyll pigments of the spinach leaf’s chlorophyll extract will absorb more electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths which correspond to the wavelengths of colors other than green‚ as chlorophyll is green and it will reflect green light.

"The light begins…the light ends" Dulce Maldonado Abstract: In this lab the students did two labs in which they learned the process of photosynthesis‚ which involves the use of light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar‚ oxygen‚ and other organic compounds. Oxygen is released as a product. This process is often summarized by the following reaction: 6CO2 + 12H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 The energy of photosynthesis comes from absorbed photons found in light and involves
