74 · Quantitative General Chemistry Lab Manual Lab 5: Pre-Lab Assignment Name: Section: 1. Assuming Allura Red, molar mass 496.42 g/mol, has a molar absorptivity of about 25,000 cm 1 M 1 at 500 nm, what mass of it will you need to create 100. mL of a solution that has an absorbance of 1.0 in a 1.0 cm cuvette? 2. Will you be able to accurately measure that mass using a top-loading balance? Why or why not? 3. What about with an analytical balance? Why or why not?
Lab 5: Quantitative Analysis Using Beer’s Law · 75 4. Considering this amount you would have to weigh out for a dilution to 100 mL in volu- metric glassware, propose another volume to dilute to that might be easier to execute. Is this volume practical considering you only need 1 mL of the final solution to check its absorbance at 500 nm? 5. If you think the molar absorptivity of this food dye is representative of most dyes at their respective λ max , do you think most dyes can be accurately weighed as a dry powder and diluted in a single step using common volumetric glassware to achieve an absorbance value in the linear range of a spectrophotometer? Would your answer be different if you were aiming for an absorbance value of 0.1 instead of 1.0? As part of your notebook preparation, create a diagram similar to Figure 5.4 for creating the absorbance 1.0 solution of Allura Red based on your answers to the pre-lab assignment.
