CHEM 225 Intro to Analytical Chemistry Lab

Quiz #3 Nov 18

Mn lab results - see lab handout in notebook - due Dec 4 (Tuesday lab) or Dec 6 (Thursday lab)

Results needed:
1. Calculate the Molarity of MnO4- for each of the five known solutions
2. Graph of Transmittance vs Concentration MnO4-
3. Beer's Law Plot - Graph of Absorbance vs Concentration(M) of MnO4- with linear regression analysis to obtain the equation of the line (y = mx+b)
4. Use the equation of the line to obtain the concentration of MnO4- in your unknown samples
5. Calculate the % Mn in each of your unknown samples
6. Calculate the average %Mn
7. Calculate the molar absorptivity(ε) in M-1cm-1 of  MnO4- using A = εbC where A is the absorbance (unitless), C is the concentration in Molarity and be is the cell length which is equal to1.00 cm
