spectrophotometer. The Spec-20 was set to 0% transmittance using the left knob without a test tube sample in the holder. Then a test tube filled three-fourths of the way full with distilled water was placed into the Spec-20’s test tube well and the pointer was set to 100% transmittance using the right hand knob. The next step in the lab is to find the absorbance of the standard solutions of copper (II) sulfate. To find the absorbance, the percent transmittance of the 0.500 M, 0.200 M, 0.100 M…
Percent transmittance is how much of the light goes through the solution. Calculating absorbance is very simple at this point. The percent transmittance values should be placed in the equation, A= log(1/T), as the variable T. Absorbance is how much light is absorbed in the solution so this equation will show much light is being absorbed by the solution. The relationship between percent transmittance and absorption is the higher the concentration of the solution is, the percent transmittance…
much lower transmittance in the 1000-600 cm-1 range, this would most likely due to the presence of the aluminum ion. When Co(acac)3 was compared, it showed a much higher transmittance in the 2000-1000 cm-1 range, this is most likely due to the presence of cobalt in the molecule. When comparing Co(acac-NO2)3, there was a much higher transmittance in the range of 2000-400 cm-1, this is most likely due to the presence of the nitro group and the cobalt ion in the molecule. The transmittance was also…
synthesized. Transmittance of about 90-95 % is obtained in the visible region (400-700 nm) and the synthesized substrate show better thermal characteristics and withstands temperature upto 200 oC without any significant degradation. Characteristics such as transmittance (T), absorption (A), refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) are also reported.

Cellular respiration is the process of “breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy” usually using glucose, and convert it into ATP through an aerobic process. (Upadhyay 2018) Cellular fermentation is also a part of cellular respiration, but it is an anaerobic process which means it does not require oxygen. There are two discussed types of fermentation: Alcohol Fermentation in which “glycolysis converts glucose in to pyruvate, producing NADH and FADH2, then pyruvate is broken…
Figure 1 shows the relationship between concentration and absorbance known as the Beer-Lambert law or calibration curve. The data from the made solutions in table 2 was used to create the graph. The graph has a linear trend line that predicts where a point would fall on the graph. The equation of the trend line is equation 7: y=0.9508x-0.0055 with a R2 value of 0.99943. This equation was used to find the true concentration of the made solutions as well as the unknown solution. The R2 value…
Absorbance and Transmittance values for each mixture. The sample with the darkest coloring will have the most starch, thus testing the effect that various starch concentrations have on absorption. In addition, students conducted Carbohydrate testing to test sugars produced by the seeds.…
The amount of product produced by reactions can compared by analyzing the amount transmittance and absorbance of the sample. This transmittance is how much light is passes through the sample, and absorbance is how much light is absorbed by the sample. Because this product is not opaque, it blocks some of the light passing through the sample in the spectrophotometer. Therefore, the more absorbance (and less transmittance) of the sample, the more product is being produced by the…
Hypothesis: Aerobic Respiration: If a phosphate buffer, dichlorophenol-indophenol and succinate are added to a mitochondrial extract then the succinate molecules will bind to an enzyme complex (succinate dehydrogenase). Because the enzyme and FAD are a part of the same complex, initiating succinate oxidation, this reaction reduces FAD to FADH2. Thus the oxidation of succinate to furmarate. Anaerobic Respiration: If a solution of yeast and glucose is combined and placed in different incubation…
of the 18th century little was known about cholera transmission or disease communication in general. The miasma theory was in full force. Most of the science world accepted the miasma theory and completely rejected any other theory for disease transmittance. This greatly hindered advancements in research of communicable diseases because miasmas were understood as a fact and no other means of transfer were considered. It took the open-mindedness of John Snow to provide enough evidence to…
