Data Analysis for Part A. Use your table of wavelength and colorobserved to answer the follwoing:
1. Over what wavelength rage do you observe Red? Yellow? BlueSummarize these ranges below your table.
Data Anaylsis for Part B.By referring to your table, answer thequestions below:
3a. Examine a set of solutions having the same concentration.Does the wavelength absorbed max change with the anion, the cationor both? what do you conclude is causing the absorbance?
3b. Examine pairs of solutions having the same compound butdifferent amounts of compound in the solution(differentconcentrations). Does the absorbance intensity change withconcentration? Write a sentencesating this and suggest areason.
4.Now consider the relationship between the color of thesolution and the wavelength, (plus and minus 5nm) max, assoicatedwith the greatest absorbance by nswering the followingquestions:
a. by referring to part A, write down the color thatcorrresponds to the wavelength max of the cobalt solution. Comparethis color with the observed color of the cobalt solution. Arethese colors the same or different? Write a sentence summarizingthis and suggest an explanation.( You may find it helpful to reviewthe concept o the colors of light transmitted vs the colors oflight absorbed, which is easily visulaized by drawing out theprimary color wheel).
b. Repeat this analysis for the nickel solutions and write asentence summarizing your findings and suggest anexplanation.
Data Anaylsis for Part C.
5.why do sodium chloride and sodium nitrate produce the samecolor flame?
6.Report they identity of your unknown and your evidence forthis determination.
7.Consider the identity the emission spectra of the cobalt andnickel salts. Write down the approximate wavelength correspondingto the observed colors. Compare these values with those youobtained in Part B.4. Are they the same or different? Can youexplain your observation?
