Using the calibration equation and the absorbance you measured for the prepared sample, calculate the ferroin concentration. Show your work and don't forget to include units.
Abs = (slope (slope x concentration) concentration) + y-intercept 0.051 = (9008 x concentration) - 0.0142 0.652 = 9008 x concentration 0.652 abs / 9008 = 7.24x 10^-6 M ferroin concentration

Based on the procedural steps and the ferroin concentration you just calculated, calculate the moles of ferroin in the final ferroin complex solution prepared in Part II, Step 9. Show your work, including units. mol = M X V M of ferroin: 7.24x10^-6 M V = 100 mL of ferroin complex solution x 10^-3 = 0.1 L 7.24x10^-6 M x 0.1 L = 7.24x10^-7 moles of ferroin

Using the "moles of iron in the crushed tablet solution" you just calculated, calculate the mass (in mg) of iron in the crushed sample that you weighed out. Show your work, including units. 1.45x10^-5 moles of iron x (55.845 g Fe/1 mol) = 8.087x10^-4 g of Fe 8.087x10^-4 g of iron x (1000 mg/1 g) = 0.809 mg of Fe

1. Compare your mass of iron per tablet with the amount listed on the bottle label. Calculate the % error and discuss YOUR major sources of error. (4 (4 pts) pts) % error = measured-true/true measured-true/true x 100 % error = 13 - 27 / 27 x 100 % error = 52% Our biggest source of error may have been the readings from the colorimeter. Because of it's age it may have affected the colorimeter's accuracy. Another source of error may have been when when we put put the beaker beaker of HCl, water water and iron tablet tablet on the hot plate, we didn't take it off to let it cool. We just let the hot plate cool with the beaker still on top. This could have affected the cooling process and it also caused a lot of the solution to evaporate.
2. If you did not wait for the complete formation of the ferroin complex in Part II, step 10, how would your Abs data be different? Explain how would this affect your determination of the mass of iron in the tablet? (4 ( 4 pts) pts) If you do not wait for the ferroin complex formation to complete, then the absorbance will be less. If the process of the formation formation does not finish, then the concentration of ferroin will not be accurate. Without an accurate concentration, you cannot calculate calculate an accurate absorbance. You cannot determine the mass of iron in the tablet without knowing the ferroin concentration or absorbance.
3. You use atomic emission spectroscopy, another another spectroscopic technique, technique, to measure the Li+ concentration in 5 standard solutions of varying concentrations of LiCl. The intensities for the standard solutions are plotted versus the concentrations concentrations and the resulting calibration equation is: Intensity = 83,100 M-1 * [Li+] + 1.65 If the intensity of your unknown sample is 101, what is the concentration of Li + in the analyzed sample? (4 ( 4 pts) pts) Intensity = 83,100 M^-1 * [Li^+] + 1.65 101 = 83,100 M^-1 * [Li^+] + 1.65 99.35 = 83,100 M^-1 * [Li^+] 99.35/ 83,100 M^-1 = 0.001195 M [Li+] = 0.001195 M
If 15 mL of the original unknown sample was diluted to 350. mL prior to analysis, what is the concentration of Li + in the original solution? (4 (4 pts) pts) 0.001195 M x (0.35 L/0.015 L) = 0.028 M [Li+]
Laboratory Waste Evaluation (1 pt) Laboratory waste is considered anything generated generated during an experiment that is disposed of down the sewer drain, thrown in the garbage, collected in a container for disposal by the UW Environmental Environmental Health & Safety department, or released into the environment.
