Green Frosting Lab Report

616 Words2 Pages

The essential points of the green-frosting are the concentration and absorbance value in each diluted which the process of serial dilution. The standard curve of Blue#1 and yellow #5 provide the equation of the trend-line in order to calculate the concentration in the diluted solution of the green frosting. The mole of dye in 100mL green stock solution, mole of dye in 5 gram and 1 gram of frosting, the Beer –Lambert Law, and the compare to amount desired by the company can be determined. The Beer-Lambert Law is the relationship between color and the concentration and equation A=Ebc. The “A” is absorbance, the “C” is a concentration in molarity, the “E” is a molar absorptivity and “b” is the path-length. The goal of the lab is to use the absorbance and the Beer-Lambert law to determine the amounts of blue#1 and yellow #5 in the green frosting.
Procedure and Data statement
The complete experimental procedure is available in the General Chemistry Laboratory Manual for CSU Bakersfield, CHEM 213, pages 20-22, 24-25. Experimental data are recorded on the attached data pages.
Discussion
The amount of blue#1 and yellow #5 are 6.432e-7 and 9.602e-8 in units of moles dye per gram frosting. The standard amounts of blue#1 and yellow#5 desired by the company are 1.0e-5 and 5.0e-6 in units of …show more content…

The analyzed yellow#5 wavelength was determined to 395nm because the actual wavelength 427nm was restricted in the Micro lab. The R2 value of the graph is 0.9827, and the level of data accuracy it indicated extremely weak data correlation. The first one dilution data points excluded from the standard curve because the point is not in the linear curve. The first concentration and absorbance value are the highest point in the graph that cannot connect as linear with another data point. After removing the first data point, the standard curve is clear and make
