Kemtec™ AP™ Chemistry Kits: Spectrophotometric Analysis of Copper: Beer's Law

Includes

Copper Sulfate, Pentahydrate; Copper Sulfate 0.12M; Copper Sulfate 0.012M; Copper Sulfate 0.0024M; Copper Sulfate 0.00048M

Requires

Spectrophotometers, 10mL volumetric flasks, 1mL pipets

Explore the interaction of light with copper ions in solution using photons from the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Students examine the relationship between transmittance, absorbance and solution concentration using Beer's Law (A = ε·b·C) after determining λmax. Fulfill the AP chemistry requirement for using a spectrophotometer and learn to perform serial dilutions.

• Includes an inquiry based extension for determining the amount of copper in a penny (nitric acid not included)
• Experiments are adjustable to fit your lab period
• Minimal prep time
