Make Five Standard Solutions

Satisfactory Essays

Make five standard solutions by dissolving (NH4)Fe(ox)33H2O with concentration of 1.0x103 M to 7.5x103M by using the volumetric glassware. Describe the procedure and show the calculation. Note:DI Water is deionized water. Stock solution: Obtain ~125 mg (exact amount =126mg) of the Iron(III) Ammonium Oxalate Trihydrate (NH4)3Fe(C2O4)3.3H2O, and dissolve it in the DI water to the total value 25mL. The concentration of the stock solution: (0.126g/428gmol)/0.025L=1.18x10^-2 M For Standard solution 1, we added 2 mL stock solution with 8 mL DI water (1.18x10^2 mol/1 L)x0.002L=x mol/ 0.010 L X= 2.34x10-3 mol/L For Standard Solution 2, we added 3 mL stock solution with 7 mL DI water (1.18x10^2 mol/1 L)x0.003L=x mol/ 0.010 L X= 3.54x10-3 mol/L …show more content…

Borrow the spectrometer and LabQuest2 from the stockroom and connect them with the USB cable. 2. Calibrate the spectrometer by following the steps in the the manual and wait for at least one minute to warm up. Note: The best warm up time is at least 3 minutes. 3. Create a blank, and wipe the blank cuvette with a kinwipe and insert it in the spectrometer for calibration. What is a blank? A blank is a cuvette that filled with the DI water. We use the blank to calibrate the spectrometer. Part C: 1. Measure the width of the cuvette the find the path length. Path length=12.9 mm. Path length is the distance that light travel through the solution. 2 Label and fill the cuvette, and pre-rinse cuvettes with their standard solution 3.Wipe the outside of the cuvette with the highest concentration solution. We wipe the cuvette so the fingerprint will not affect the absorbance result. Place the cuvette in the holder, and following the direction to collect the data from LabQuest 2. Pre-rinse the cuvette with the respective solution to reduce the system error 4. Examine and note the maximum absorbance wavelength on the graph.
