Many ions form colored solutions when dissolved in water. For example, aqueous Cu2+ solutions are light blue and aqueous Ni2+ solutions look light green. These metals in particularare often found in stainless steel. Would you expect their presence in your samples to interfere in the spectrophotometric analysis of permanganate at 525 nm? Why or why not?

2. (a) When there are extra chloride ions in solution, [CoCl4]2– complex ions can form, which are a different color than the Co2+ ions. Suppose 20% of the Co2+ ions form the complex ions when a student uses aqueous NaCl solution instead of deionized water (he/she picked up the wrong bottle by mistake). How would the presence of [CoCl4]2– complex ions affect the % transmittance values the student reads from the spectrophotometer? Explain. (b) How are the absorbance values changed?
Julie has been asked to measure the concentration of a sample solution using a spectrophotometer. After a first attempt, she realizes that, to make the measurement, she must first dilute the sample solution. Julie transfers 1.3 mL1.3 mL of the sample to a 250 mL250 mL volumetric flask and fills the rest of the flask with water to the 250 mL250 mL line. She then uses the spectrophotometer to measure the concentration of the dilute solution as 5.5×10−5 M.5.5×10−5 M. What is the concentration of the starting sample solution?

A protein’s concentration can be determined spectrophotometrically by mixing it with an indicator called a Bradford reagent and measuring the amount of light absorbed by the protein. Use the plot below to determine the mass of protein (in micrograms, μμg ) in 100.0 mL of the solution if its absorbance is 0.398. A. 52 B. 3.1 C. 2.4 D. 0.52 E. 0.031

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?

Explain why the concentration of zinc cannot be determined directly using a spectrophotometer.
Ni2+ appears green in solution, so its concentration can be determined spectrophotometrically. A student measured the absorbances of several solutions of known Ni2+ concentration and created a plot of absorbance vs. [Ni2+]. The equation of the best-fit line for the calibration curve was determined to be y = 1.45x + 0.00162. What would be the concentration of a Ni2+ solution that has a measured absorbance of 0.560?
