Fingerprint Lab Pre and Post Questions
Pre-Lab
1.
You are a CSI and suspect there are fingerprints on a dark blue car door. What color
fingerprint powder would you use to dust for prints? What color would you use if the
car door is white. Explain your reasoning.
-
I would use white fingerprint powder on the dark blue car door and black fingerprint
powder on the white car door. My reason for this is because whenever taking
fingerprints you need a clear print; it would be difficult to get a good print if a CSI
investigator can’t even see where the fingerprint is or if they are using too much
powder and won’t get a clear print.
Post-Lab Experiment 1 Questions:
1.
Which basic patters do you have on each finger: arch, loop, or whorl?
-
On each finger it is whorl and double loop.
2.
What was the most common type of minutiae you observed?
-
The most common type of minutiae I observed was ridge and endings, they were in
each fingerprint and the second one was enclosures.
Post-Lab Experiment 2 Questions:
1.
What was the role of the skin oil in this experiment?
-
The role of the skin oil in this experiment was to help get a more outlined and better
fingerprint.

2.
Discuss how easy it was to develop a print with fingerprint dust. Did it require a
lot of practice? How do you think this influences the industry with respect to
training and implementation?
-
It was not as easy as I imagined it would be, you really must be ever so light with us-
ing the brush over the print and you must use the perfect amount of power to get a
good fingerprint that isn’t smudged because of too much powder or too much
swirling. It did require a few practices to get it as close to perfect as possible. This in-
fluences the industry with respect to training and implementation because this takes
so much time and effort, and it will at the end of the day help solve or push a case for-
ward.
3.
Why did you take a photograph of the fingerprint before lifting it?
-
I took a fingerprint before lifting it to show how difficult it is to see that there is a fin-
gerprint until after using the power and brush.
4.
List two specific examples of surfaces, other than the ones you tested, that would most
likely lift quality fingerprints at a crime scene.
- Two specific examples of surfaces that would most likely lift quality fingerprints at a crime
scene would be on a toilet or a window
5.
Why did you put on gloves before lifting each print? In this experiment, you used the
same brush to dust each print.
- I put the gloves on before lifting each print so that my skin oils don’t mess up the print
6.
What technique would better prevent evidence contamination at an actual crime scene?

Methods of Analysis
Test #1: Polarity, or Effect of a charged rod on a stream of liquid:
This test was used to determine the relative polarity of the unknown liquid. The liquid was allowed to run out of a buret and a charged rod was brought up next to the stream. The observations were reported as to whether or not the stream of liquid responded to the charged rod and to what degree.
Try this at home with water and a plastic spoon. Rub the plastic spoon against a sweater and move it close to a small stream of water running out of your faucet!
Test #2: Volatility, or Rate of Evaporation:
A thermometer probe was wrapped with a strip of filter paper. This assembly was soaked in one of the liquids for one minute. The probe was removed, and the temperature change was monitored as the liquid evaporated. The results are given in Graph 1 below. (See Graph)
Graph 1: The curves generated of the change in temperature over time for the substances acetone, hydrogen monoxide, ethylene glycol,…

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc.
The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

1. If Beer's Law is valid, the value of "E" should be constant. Use A = E*C*L or E=
A/(E*L) and the data from Table II to calculate values of E for the five solutions below
The value of L is normally 1 cm so E = A/C in this experiment.

A student has three test tubes containing a metal (M) nitrate solution M(NO3)2 (aq)
(where "M" represents a generic transition metal). The student adds aqueous
ammonia (NH3) to one test tube, aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCI) to the second tube,
and nothing more to the third tube, but forgets to label the tubes. After this, one
test tube contains a red solution, one an orange solution, and one a yellow solution.
Note: This metal, M, would follow the same rules that we used for Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II).
The Jahn-Teller Effect does not apply.
Complete each statement or answer each question below about the solutions
in the three test tubes.

What are the differences between systematic and random errors and how do they effect accuracy and precision?
In what circumstances would you use standard addition (versus a normal calibration curve) to determine the amount of an analyte in a sample?
A urine sample, containing analyte Z is analysed by the standard addition method where 5 mL of the original sample was mixed with increasing amounts of a Z standard and each solution diluted to a volume of 50 mL prior to analysis. A plot of the final concentration of the standard in each of the 50 mL samples (x axis) versus
The measured signal from the analysis of each 50 mL sample (on y axis) produced a straight line with the general equation:
y = 44.72x + 4.06
what was the final concentration of Z in the 50 mL standard addition sample? what was the initial concentration of Z in the original urine sample?

concentration of FeSCN2+. To do so, you add 2.422 mL of 0.200 M Fe(NO3)3 to a
cuvette and then directly add 215 µL of 0.001 M KSCN. What is the resulting
concentration of FeSCN2*, assuming complete conversion of SCN' to FeSCN2+?
