Intro:
Light can act as a wave or a particle, it depends on certain circumstances light can go through. It can interact with different chemicals and telling us what we can see in a solution. Light can show the different types of factors that can occur in the state of the substance such as solid, liquid or gas.
Light can be absorbed by objects, which means light must be absorbed by a chemical substance in order for the photoelectric effect to take place. This effect is known for electron being emitted when light is shined upon it and photons may or lose the absorbance.
Beer-Lambert law:
This is when light effects the concentration on the absorbance which contain electrons interacting with the photons.
E.g. when concentration is low, absorbance is low and when concentration is high, absorbance also be high as well.
Spectrophotometer: Refer to Mr. Papagapiou lab report
Spectrophotometer has two advantages
1. Capable of transmitting monochromatic light through the solution
2. Allows a standard path length for tested samples
Copper (II) Sulfate:
This is a chemical compound, usually described as a blue crystalline or a powder. It is known as salt having multiplies of compound that can attract water molecules into them
Statement:
How does the concentration of Copper Sulfate (COSO4) compare to the absorbance?
Hypothesis:
The less Copper (II) Sulfate …show more content…

Epsilon ( represents the extinction coefficient, ‘A’ represents the absorbance, ‘l’ represents the length of the cuvette (1 cm), and ‘c’ represents the sample’s concentration. An example of how we found epsilon by using our data from the .0001 M concentration of allura dye at its maximum wavelength is shown below. In this lab, we acquired 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, 0.00003, 0.00005, and 0.00008 M diluted solutions of allura red and sunset yellow dyes. With the 0.00001 M diluted dyes, we recorded its absorbance for wavelengths of 400-700 nm in increments of 20, found the value for each dye, and created a plot.

- ​A hydrate is a salt that contains water as a part of its crystal structure. The hydrate used in this lab was Copper (ll) Sulfate Pentahydrate. To heat the hydrate in this lab a crucible is needed. A crucible is a heat resistant container used to heat things to high temperatures. In this lab a mole was used to determine the measurements of all substances.

Copper Standard Solutions Preparation: To prepare the copper standard solutions the students added 15 M NH¬4OH (4mL) to a designated amount of stock solution (0.100 M) in a volumetric flask (50mL). Standards one through six contained the following mL of original stock solution: 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, and 10.00. Once each of these solutions were combined with the ammonium hydroxide (4 mL) they were filled to the mark on the volumetric flask (50mL) with distilled water and swirled. Recording Absorption

This then resulted in a change of color for the indicator. Similarly Erio-Black T is also a good substance to use for testing the water samples in this experiment because it works as an indicator and changes from red then to purple and finally to blue around the pH range of 7-11. In addition, we used a pH 10 buffer to ensure that the

Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and

On the second day when the sulfuric acid, H2SO4(aq), was added the solid started to liquify and it started to turn blue making it copper sulfate, CuSO4(aq). After we added zinc, Zn(s) a silver element, to the beaker and stirred it until the zinc was dissolved and the liquid turned clear which was zinc sulfate, ZnSO4(aq). When we were done stirring what we were left with was copper which ended up a

Reading and Reflection: Given the prior knowledge that purple light has the highest amount of energy and red light has the lowest amount of energy, it was inferred that solutions with purple/blue light have more energy and those with red/orange light have the smallest amount of energy. So lithium had the highest energy (in wavelengths), barium and copper had a moderate amount of energy, and the majority of the substances had low light energy. Other prior knowledge led to the fact that electrons further away from the nucleus have more energy. So lithium, which had the highest amount of energy, has to have electrons the furthest

Purpose This experiment is to determine the concentration of the solute copper sulfate pentahydrate, and the unknown solution, by passing different wavelengths of light through each solution. Procedure Weigh out approximately 5g of copper sulfate pentahydrate. Record the mass and place the solute into a 50 mL volumetric flask. Fill half of the flask with distilled water, add the stopper for the flask, and lightly shake the flask, until the copper sulfate pentahydrate fully dissolved.

It was discovered that the speed of light decreases as it passes through a medium higher density and when it passes through a medium with a lower density, the speed of light increases. For example, since air has a low density, light can travel through at 1.00c. Whereas with glass (which has a higher density), the light takes 0.67c to travel through. It was also discovered that a brighter light has bigger light waves and that a dimmer light has smaller light

Theoretical chemistry is an insightful mathematical tool to understand experimental facts and provide conceptual directions to experimentalists. The discovery of theoretical concepts came after several experimentations and attempts. Earlier progress of theoretical chemistry was narrowed due to the limitation of computational facility. The growth in the empower of electronic computers and softwares have increased the inability to unfold the problems of vigorous calculations into easier forms and enabled to emergence of computational chemistry.1,2 In recent years, it has become a branch of science and now it interfaces connection between chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology and computer science and it provides an idea to solve electronic properties.
