Spectrophotometer (Text p410, LM p19-21)
Sample cell matching LM p 19 (1 hour)- Need 8 test tubes with the same pathlength (b)- prepare dilute amaranth dye soln
- Set wavelength to 510 nm
- Insert test tube in sample compartment
- Adjust trans/absorb control to 90%
- Insert 2nd tube in spec
- Put on alignment line- Rotate tube to get T=90%
- Repeat until you have 8 matched tubes
Record spectrometer number
- Mark tube with line

• Reduce any Fe(III) to Fe(II) so all iron is in the Fe(II) state, because only Fe(II) forms coloured complex

Determination of Trace Iron(LM, p14-22)
Measure absorption spectrum of the complex to determine the wavelength of max. absorbance.
Absorbance spectrum – graph of absorbance of light vs. wavelength
A = abc
Measure A for most conc standard from 640 to 400 nm at 20 nm intervals. The 0 %T (20D Only) and the 100 %T (A = 0) settings must be reset for each new wavelength.

Why is 100 %T (A = 0) reset at each wavelength?

Calibration Curves
Calibration Curve – graph of instrument response vs. conc of analyte- when response for sample is measured, its conc is determined
by interpolating from the graph- blank value should be part of the calibration curve, i.e. signal for [C] = 0.0-standards must cover the complete range of expected unknowns- plot signal on the Y axis and conc on the X axis.- Normally response is linear or with math transformation can be made linear Signal = m(conc) + b
m = slope b = intercept

Mathematically calculate line using least squares fits data to y = mx + b ?determines m and bdetermines error in m and b?allows accurate calculation of sample conc
Manually on graph paper- best for spotting outliers, curvature, etc.
