Lab Report Experiment 11 – Spectrophotometric determination of %Co in purple Co compound Chemical reaction: Strong heating Co(III)(NH 3 ) x Cl y (s) Co(II)Cl 2 + NH 3 (g) + N 2 (g) + NH 4 Cl (purple Co compd.) Note: In this reaction, the oxidation number of Co in the purple compound was converted from +3 to +2 after heating. Data Table: 1.

Answer the following questions: 1. Why can the spectrophotometric method be used to determine the %Co in purple compound? It can measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light by measuring the intensity of light. 2. Is this a qualitative or quantitative analysis? This analysis is based on absorption law. What is the absorption law? - Quantitative, - A= bc 3. The calibration curve is made with Co(II) standard solutions, while the oxidation state of Co in purple compound is +3. Do you think there is a difference of molar extinction coefficient between Co(II) and Co(III)? If yes, what preparation should be used before the determination of Co in this experiment? - Yes the m olar extinction coefficient will differ. - We have to prepare stock solutions with known concentrations in order to calculate the difference in the molar extinction coeffitient. 4. What is the m olar extinction coefficient (  did you get from your calibration curve What is its units? - 4.9525 - No units
