1) Lab Technique 2: Spectrophotometer Use In Serial And Parallel Dilutions Names: Payton Colbert, Solomon Usoro, Danielle Paz, Lanayah Jean-Louis Date of Experiment: 09/12/2023 Course: CHM 2045L Section Number: 009 2) Objective: (Danielle Paz) In Lab Technique 2, students will familiarize themselves with using a spectrophotometer. For the lab the students will use a dye stock solution in order to create a calibration curve using a parallel dilution technique. The purpose of this lab is to understand how to use the spectrophotometer and know how to prepare dilutions. 3) Materials: ( Solomon Usoro) General Laboratory Glassware (beaker, Erlenmeyer flask, volumetric flask, graduated cylinder) Volumetric Flasks (100 mL, 50 mL, 25 mL, 10 mL) Graduated Pipettes (1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL) Plastic cuvettes Food Dyes (Red Dye 40, Yellow Dye 5 and 6, Green Dye 3, etc.) Pasco Scientific Vis-Spectrophotometer 4) Chemicals/Hazards: (Payton Colbert) Chemical Name Chemical Formula Molecular Formula Weight Physical Appearance Specific Hazards Additional Notes Dihydrogen Oxide H20 18.01528g/mol Clear Accidental inhalation can lead to death, severe tissue damage, and severe burns Suitable for any general chemical storage area. Wear all lab equipment. FD&C Red #40 C18H14N2Na2O8S8 496.42g/mol Red powder Allergies, migraines, and mental disorders in children Fresh dark places at temperatures between 5 and 40 degrees C. Wear all lab equipment. FD&C Yellow #5 C16H9N4Na3O9S2 534.3g/mol Yellow powder Allergic skin reactions, breathing difficulties if inhaled Cool dry place in a closed container. Wear all lab
equipment. FD&C Yellow #6 C16H10N2Na2O7S2 452.37g/mol Yellow liquid Skin and eye irritation, corrosion or irritation At an ambient temperature, in a low moisture environment. Fast Green FCF C37H34N2Na2O10S 3 808.84 Dark green or red brown powder Causing genetic defects Stored at 5+ to 30+ degree C. Bottle must be tightly closed at all times. Wear all lab equipment. 5) Methods/Procedures: (Danielle Paz) - Step 1: Gather 5 medium test tubes and label them “A through E”. - Step 2: Use a graduated pipette to transfer 1mL of the stock solution into a 10mL volumetric flask. - Step 3: Using a clean pipette, fill up a volumetric flask to the 10mL mark with deionized water. - Step 4: Transfer the dilution into test tube A. - Step 5: Clean the volumetric flask using deionized water, then repeat steps 2 and 3 using solution A rather than the stock solution. Use a clean graduated pipette when preparing different dilutions. - Step 6: Transfer the dilution into test tube B. - Step 7: Clean the volumetric flask and repeat the steps to prepare dilutions “C through E”. (Using solution B to make solution C, etc.) - Step 8: After preparing dilutions A through E, read the absorbances and record the data. With each solution, transfer 1mL to the spectrophotometer cuvette and read the absorbance at the lambda max. corresponding to the color of the solution. Always calibrate the spectrophotometer before reading the sample and clean the cuvette between readings. - Step 9: Dispose waste accordingly and clean equipment. 6) Calculations: ( Lanayah Jean-Louis) Dilution = M 1 V 1 = M 2 V 2 - M 1 : concentration of original substance - V 1 : volume of original solution - M 2 : concentration of diluted solution - V 2 : final volume of diluted solution Beer's Law 𝐴 = ε𝐶? = (𝑦 = ?? + ?), 𝐶 = 𝐴/?ε
- A: absorbance - ε: molar absorptivity coefficient species (𝐿/?𝑜? − ??) - C: concentration of absorbing species - : path length (cm) ? Table 1.
