Question details
1). If the concentrations and corresponding absorbance values of your standard solutions were as follows:
Concentration in M |
abs |
0.0110 |
0.110 |
0.0330 |
0.320 |
0.0530 |
0.520 |
0.0750 |
0.750 |
What would be your calculated molar absorptivity constant (in cm-1M-1) (assuming a path length of 1.00 cm).
Use Excel to calculate, then report your answer to 2 decimal places, do not use units, do not us scientific notation.
2). Which concentration for your personal solution is probably more accurate and why?
A. |
Both concentrations are equally valid. It doesn't matter that they don't agree. |
|
B. |
The concentration as calculated from the mass and volume is the most accurate. You know the mass down to two decimal places and the volume to 5 significant digits. |
|
C. |
Neither can be said to be more accurate as you never really know an exact concentration without titrating it. |
|
D. |
The concentration derived from the Beer's Law data. This comes from a highly sophisticated instrument and must be the most accurate. |
3). When someone made their personal solution, they used 1.29 grams of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and the 100.00 mL volumetric flask. Their Beer's Law data indicates a concentration of 0.044 M. What is the percent error between the two concentrations? Report your answer to 2 sig figs. Do not use units. Do not use scientific notation.
