Lab 5: Which Cereal Contains the Most Iron? REPORT FORM Question #1. Insert a screenshot of your calibration plot (standard curve) with the best-fit line. Include a title, axis labels and R 2 value. These components can be written on the graph with a stylus or a text-box if needed. Question #2. Using the absorbance value for your cereal sample calculate the concentration of Fe 2+ in your original 100.00 mL solution. You diluted your sample solution twice: when you transferred a measured volume from the 100mL volumetric flask to another volumetric flask and again when you transferred a measured volume to a test tube and added KSCN. Use the concentration (molarity) of iron from above and the dilution factors to determine the concentration of iron in the original 100 mL volumetric flask. Concentration vs Absorbance of [Fe(SCN) 6 ] 3- 0.435 R 2 =0.9423
Question #3. Calculate the experimental mass of Fe(s) (mg) in your cereal sample using your experimental results. Use the concentration of [Fe(SCN) 6 ] 3- in the original 100-mL volumetric flask to determine the mass of iron (in milligrams) in your original cereal sample (of about 3 grams). There is 1.349mg of Fe in our 3.0088g sample cereal sample.
Question #4. Calculate the experimental mass of Fe(s) (mg) in a serving size of your cereal using your experimental results. Refer to the information you recorded earlier in your laboratory notebook for the mass (in g) of a serving size of the cereal you analyzed. Using the mass of iron in your cereal sample calculated above; determine the experimental mass (in mg) of iron in a serving size . Question #5. Compare the experimental mass of Fe(s) in a serving size to the actual value on the cereal box. Show a calculation to support your answer. (Hint: Which formula from Lab 1 is appropriate for this comparison?) Based on our experimental value, there should be 17.934mg Fe in a 40g sample

Question #6. Based on the class results, what conclusions can you draw about the iron content of these three types of cereal? Which type has the most iron according to class results? Which cereal has more iron according to the cereal labels? Refer to specific results in your explanation. (To answer this question, you will need to calculate and report the mass of iron in a serving size of the other types of cereal using the data provided by the other groups in your lab section.) None of the other groups had an amount close to the actual serving size besides ours. Our group got 0.37%. This could be because our measuring skills are the best or we just got a sample with more iron in it which is more reasonable. According to the cereal boxes they should all have 18mg per serving. Total cereal has the most iron per serving (17.934) according to our results.
Question #7. Based on your results and the class results, comment on the effectiveness of this technique for extracting iron from cereal. What do you think were possible sources of error in this experiment? Note whether the source of error would cause the result to be falsely low or falsely high. Explain. Question #8. What is the recommended amount of iron that should be consumed daily? Based on this number and your experimental results is cereal a good source of iron for the average adult? Why or why not? Cite your sources and refer to your data. Based on our results, this is an effective technique for extracting iron from the cereal since we were less than 1% off (17.934mg). Based on the class results, this was not an effective technique for extracting iron from cereal. Possible sources of error could be using tap water and not DI water which could be because people are not awake enough to have lab at 7:30am on a Friday. This would cause the results to be high. Another cause could be that when rinsing the stirrer off the group used too much water and lost some of the iron. This would cause the results to be low. 18mg (0.018g) of iron is recommended daily according to all 3 cereal boxes that we were provided. Based on the recommended daily average and our results and if you only ate 40g of cereal this could be a good source of iron. Now if you re someone like me who eats 3 big bowls a day then it would not be a good source. Another reason why this wouldn t be a good source is because if you wanted to eat something else with iron in it.
