Analysis of Colas Brandi Ingram Chemistry 1011 Laboratory, Section 008-129A Instructor: Paul Haupt-Renaud November 15, 2014 My signature indicates that this document represents my own work. Excluding shared data, the information, thoughts and ideas are my own, except as indicated in the references. Discussion and Explanation: How the Spec 20 works: The first goal of this lab was to develop a complete understanding of the Spectronic 20, in terms of how it works, and all of its components. The Spec 20, which is actually a spectrophotometer, is a piece of equipment that is useful when trying to determine different concentrations, absorbance, or percent transmittance. The diagram above is a rough outline of how the spec 20 …show more content…

This means that our data does agree with the theory expected because it reflects light at the appropriate wavelength for green light. The analytical wavelength for the color green would also be 650 because that is where the most light was absorbed. This graph above depicts the same information, in a different way because we were comparing percent transmittance vs. wavelength. Meaning we would actually be looking at the wavelength where the most light was transmitted depict the color of the substance. This is true for the color solutions for red and yellow. However they reflect different wavelengths of light than that of the green solution, which is actually what allows us to perceive these colors as yellow and red, which is shown in the following four …show more content…

Absorbance and concentration are directly proportional and this is all possible because of Beer’s law which states that A(absorbance)=e(molar absorptivity)*l(distance traveled)*(concentration)5. Therefore if given the absorbance you can once again predict concentration because of this relationship, and this agrees with the expected theory because as you have an increase in absorbance you should expect a proportional increase in concentration and this is consistent with our correlation coefficient for the data and line of best fit, which is 0.996. PO43- ion Calibration Curve from K2HPO4 Solution We first began with the same procedure as used for the KmNO4 solution by finding the analytical wavelength, which is expressed in this graph at the maximum

2.4 Band Division and Energy Computation: The power spectrum of the signal is multiplied by magnitude response of set of 33 triangular band pass filters and in the range 300Hz-2000Hz. Sub-bands are formed by using the logarithmic spacing. The positions of these filters are equally spaced along the Mel frequency, which is related to the common linear frequency f by following formula: Mel (f) = 1125* ln (1+f/700) (3) Mel frequency is proportional to the logarithm of linear frequency and which is close to the human perceptual system. 2.5 Sub Fingerprint Generation:

Record the amount of absorbance by converting transmittance every 5 minutes for a total of 20 minutes. Repeat all of these steps for the cantaloupe, banana, replacing the blank each time to recalibrate the spectrophotometer. After recording all the percent transmittance value, the data was then converted into absorbance value by using the absorbance conversion table. The information was placed on a plotted graph

The objective of this lab is to see the effect of hot and cold rolling of Al 5083. And to see the effect of cooling on a casted Aluminum 7075 alloy. Once the alloy is cast it will be cold rolled to 20, 40, 60, and 80% reduction and hot rolled to 40, 60, and 80% reduction samples. The rolling will produce a change in the hardness and grain size. The hardness will be tested using a Rockwell hardness test for the grain size measurements we will etch and anodize the surface.

Set the wavelength to 470 nm, this is to measure the tetraguaiacol. Set the spectrophotometer to zero by using a blank. The blank should contain 13.3 mL of distilled water, 0.2 mL of guaiacol, and 1.5 mL of enzyme extract in a clean test tube. After, transfer a portion of this mixture into a cuvette, cover the top of the cuvette with Parafilm and then place the cuvette into the spectrophotometer and set it to

This is necessary for the development of the calibration curve, as the internal standard allows for the ratio comparison between standard and sample. By plotting these ratio values (note: see results, calculations, and analysis section) against the known concentrations, a calibration curve can be created and used to determine the concentration of unknown samples (note: see comments section for possible errors in ratio and calibration curve values). Using the best fit for the plotted curve, the produced equation, y = 0.0244x – 0.0133 (where y = ratio standard/sample and x = concentration), was used to determine the concentration of the unknown sample, which was calculated to be approximately 38.73

After that, 4 or 5 drops of the ether phase was added into the 2 new test tubes to mix with 4 ml of 80% acetone. Then, using a rubber stopper, the tubes were gently inverted several times. To serve as a blank/control, 4 ml of 80% acetone was pipetted into another clean test tubes. After that, the initial wavelength on the spectrophotometer was set at 380 nm to measure the absorbance. The wavelength was increased until it reached 740 nm.

Exploring Factors That Affect The Rate Of Enzyme Activity

Absorption spectroscopy is a tool most commonly used in analytical chemistry, however it is occasionally used in other fields such as molecular physics, atomic physics, and astronomical spectroscopy (“Absorption Spectroscopy”). Absorption spectroscopy is commonly used to quantify the amount of a substance present, which makes it very useful for determining how much of a certain product is present after a chemical reaction takes place (“Absorption Spectroscopy”). The absorption spectrum is the amount of radiation absorbed across a range of frequencies, it is mainly determined by the atomic or molecular composition of the specific material (“Absorption Spectroscopy”). The most common way to find the absorption spectrum is to direct a radiation beam at a sample and then detect the intensity of the radiation that passes through it, the energy that passes through can then be used to calculate the absorption of the substance (“Absorption Spectroscopy”). Absorption spectroscopy is very useful for analyzing chemicals because of how specific it is and its quantitative nature, due how to specific the absorption spectra is it is possible for a spectrophotometer to detect specific compounds within a mixture (“Absorption Spectroscopy”).

We then added 400 microliters to the test tubes excluding our blank. We then measure each one’s absorbance in the spectrophotometer that is set at 605 nm. Then, we set each of the test tubes up in different light intensities. The first test tube was wrapped in foil to avoid light, the second was placed 24 cm away from the light, the third was placed 30 cm away from the light, and the fourth one was placed 49 cm away from the light. In 5-minute intervals we would take each test tube and test their

The Trichromatic Theory helps explain the most common form of color blindness today, which is red-green blindness. People with this form of color blindness have normal blue sensitive cones, but their other cones are either red or green sensitive so they cannot differentiate the two. Although the Trichromatic Theory explains the interaction of cones and color it does not explain all aspects of color
