Lab Set Up & Conclusions.
Graph.
Here is our colorimeter line graph for the Beer's Law Lab. In order to collect all of the numbers that we did, we had to plug the colorimeter into our computers and then place a cuvette full of one of 7 the solutions into the meter order to figure out the amount of solute that was in Aunt Elda's mixture the anesthesiologist had made up for her anesthesia that caused her death.
Cuvettes.
These are the cuvettes that we used for this lab. Each cuvette had a different solution. For example, the one furthest to the left has a solution 0% solute and 100% solvent (water). They went from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% , 50% and then 100%. We had to determine the concentration of aunt Elda's anesthesia mixture since it killed her....
Colorimeter.
This is the meter that we used to determine the amount of light that could go through the cuvette solutions.
Computer Set Up
This is what our computers were set up as. We needed the laptop for collecting data and the colorimeter for collecting Beer's Law data.
Lab
In this lab we were trying to figure out the percentages of solute and solvent that were in the solution of Aunt Elda's anesthesia concentration. The reason why we are trying to find this out, you ask? Well... Aunt Elda has died. That is unacceptable and we need to get to the bottom of this!! In order to cut to the chase and discover the real mystery of why Elda died, we had to find how much solvent and solute was in a 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 100% solutions. after using the colorimeter to find all of these measurements, we were then able to measure Aunt Elda's mixture to crack the case and see which percentage was an overdose for Aunt Elda.
Results....
After testing each and every individual cuvette of solutions, we found out that Aunt Elda's overdose consisted of a solute % of 80% and a solvent % of 30%.
How to make a 40% solution.
In order to create a 40% solution, you will need to have 40% solvent and 60% solute,
