Transmittance and Absorbance
1. Turn on the instrument by turning the Power Switch (10) clockwise. Allow the spectro-photometer to warm up for at least 15 minutes to stabilize.
2. After the warm-up period, set the desired wavelength with the Wavelength Control Knob.
3. Set the filter lever to the appropriate position for the selected wavelength (not required for SPECTRONIC® 20D).
4. Adjust the display to 0%T with the Zero Control (10). Make sure that the sample compartment is empty and the cover is closed.
5. Set the display mode to TRANSMITTANCE by pressing the MODE control key until the appropriate LED is lit.
6. Fill a clean cell with water and wipe the cell with a tissue (KimwipeTM) to remove liquid droplets, dust and fingerprints.
7. Place the cell in the sample compartment and align the guide mark on the cell with the guide mark at the front of the sample compartment. Press the cell firmly into the sample compartment and close the lid.
8. Carefully adjust the display to 100%T with the Transmittance/Absorbance Control (9). Move the knob slowly as you approach 100%T.
9. Remove the cell from the sample compartment and empty the water.
10. Rinse the cell twice with small volumes of the solution to be measured and fill it with the solution.
11. Wipe the cell with a tissue and insert the cell into the sample compartment. Align the guide marks and close the lid.
12. Read the appropriate value (%T) from the display.
13. Remove the cell from the sample compartment and repeat steps 10 through 12 for any remaining sample solutions.
14. When all measurements are completed, turn off the spectrophotometer by turning the Power Switchcounterclockwise until it clicks.
Step 4. Using solution no. 1, follow the directions for instrument operation and record (%) transmittance values for each wavelength in Table 2.
Remember to reset the instrument to 100% for each wavelength investigated.
DO NOT DISCARD THIS SOLUTION,
Step 5. The wavelength that gives the largest absorbance value will provide the greatest sensitivity to concentration change. Generate an Excel graph of wavelength (x) vs. absorbance (y) using these values. At zero absorbance, there isnât any CoCl2 so donât forget to include the (0,0) data point. Connect your data points with a smooth curve. This is the absorption spectrum of aqueous CoCl2. Submit this with your lab report.
Step 6. Reset your spectrometer using this wavelength (step 5), and measure this solution and the other six solutions listed in Table 1, and record your % transmittance values in Table 3.

Step 7. Plot a graph of Molarity (M) vs. Absorbance for all seven solutions using Excel plotting techniques. This is called a calibration curve, whereby one establishes a measured response to a known solution concentration. Determine the slope of the line and include the linear equation of fit, and the correlation coefficient.
Recall the relationship A = kC or y = mx + b; where b is the (0,0) data point
Then: k = A/C
Step 8. The unknown solution to be analyzed is more concentrated than any of the standard solution concentrations that were measured to prepare the calibration curve.
Points to consider:
You must achieve a dilution such that the absorbance is within the absorbance range of the standards that were previously measured.
By using serial dilutions, will multiply many errors; thus it is best to obtain a dilution is one-step if possible.
Consider reducing the concentration by ¾, or by ½, and by ¼ or to 0.10 of the original concentration and test the solution to see if the absorbance response is within range. You may also consider using the dilutions in Table 1. Once this is determined, proceed to the next step. Complete the dilution table for the diluted concentrations you prepared:

Step 11: Determine the concentration in your original Unknown solution. Show your
back-calculation below to support your final answer to this experiment.
1. Consider a solution of 0.400M Co(NO3)2 provided by your lab instructor.
You are required to make the following dilute concentrations:
0.160M and 0.240M solutions. You are provided the following glassware: 5.0 mL Mohr pipet and 18 mm x 150 mm test tubes. Describe how you would prepare each solution, and support your description with your calculations. (Recall (Mc x Vc = Md x Vd) where Mc is the molarity of the concentrated solution, Vc is the volume of the concentrated solution, Md is the molarity of the dilute solution, and Vd is the volume of the diluted solution.)
Given 0.400 M Co(NO3)2 solution.
Lets say we pipette out 5 mL of this solution and dilute it to get 0.160 M solution. Then
Using, Mc x Vc = Md x Vd
0.400 x 5 = 0.160 x Vd or Vd= (0.400 x 5)/0.160 = 12.5 mL
Thus we need to add 7.5mL distilled water to 5 mL of cobalt nitrate. Since we are only provided with a 5 mL pipette, we can only measure out volumes in multiple of 5.
thus pipette out (5 x 2) 10 mL of cobalt nitrate solution in the test tube and dilute it by addition of (7.5 x2) 15 mL of distilled water.
Again for preparing 0.240 M solution
Lets say we pipette out 5 mL of this solution and dilute it to get 0.160 M solution. Then
Using, Mc x Vc = Md x Vd
0.400 x 5 = 0.240 x Vd or Vd= (0.400 x 5)/0.240 = 8.33 mL
Thus we need to add 3.33mL distilled water to 5 mL of cobalt nitrate. Again taking volumes only in multiples of 5, pipette out (5 x 3) 15 mL of cobalt nitrate solution in the test tube and dilute it by addition of (3.33 x3) 10 mL of distilled water.

1. Consider a solution of 0.400M Co(NO3)2 provided by your lab instructor.
You are required to make the following dilute concentrations:

Describe how you would prepare each solution, and support your description with your calculations. (Recall (Mc x Vc = Md x Vd) where Mc is the molarity of the concentrated solution, Vc is the volume of the concentrated solution, Md is the molarity of the dilute solution, and Vd is the volume of the diluted solution.)
Given 0.400 M Co(NO3)2 solution.
Lets say we pipette out 5 mL of this solution and dilute it to get 0.160 M solution. Then
Using, Mc x Vc = Md x Vd
0.400 x 5 = 0.160 x Vd or Vd= (0.400 x 5)/0.160 = 12.5 mL
Thus we need to add 7.5mL distilled water to 5 mL of cobalt nitrate. Since we are only provided with a 5 mL pipette, we can only measure out volumes in multiple of 5.
thus pipette out (5 x 2) 10 mL of cobalt nitrate solution in the test tube and dilute it by addition of (7.5 x2) 15 mL of distilled water.

Thus we need to add 3.33mL distilled water to 5 mL of cobalt nitrate. Again taking volumes only in multiples of 5, pipette out (5 x 3) 15 mL of cobalt nitrate solution in the test tube and dilute it by addition of (3.33 x3) 10 mL of distilled water.
