It is important that the investigation is carried out in the same light intensity because the absorption will be different for different intensities. Colorimeter.

Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter is used to find the absorbance and from this the concentration of dissolved Cu2+ ions can be found and percent mass calculated. The techniques used in this lab are useful in that they provide little human error for various parts of the lab by taking the measurements by a colorimeter human error is reduced.

of a reaction introduction Coloured solutions absorb some of the wavelengths in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A colorimeter can be used to measure the amount of light absorbed by a solution (the absorbance) and this is proportional to the concentration of the coloured species present. In this experiment you will use a colorimeter to investigate the reaction between bromine and methanoic acid:- Br2 (aq) + HCOOH (aq) ↓ 2Br- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + CO2 (g)

WHY DOES THE COLOUR LEAK OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure

PLANNING COURSEWORK- STARCH AND AMYLASE AIM The aim of this coursework is to investigate the effect of temperature change‚ on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. PREDICTION I think that as the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases‚ to a point when it dramatically decreases. On graph 1‚ you will see a sketch of the graph which I expect to be the result of the experiment. SCIENCE REASONING I think my prediction is correct because the rate of

the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane. So at 10% concentration the solution would be a lighter shade of red‚ with 70% concentration being the darkest shade of red. When using the colorimeter‚ the lower concentrations

the higher the concentration of reducing sugar in the solution tested. If more precipitate has formed‚ there are fewer copper ions remaining in the Benedict’s Reagent‚ therefore‚ the solution will appear less blue. This can be measured using a colorimeter‚ as it is known that the concentration of a substance is proportional to its absorbance of light. Fructose is the sugar found in fruit. It is a monosaccaride‚ and is a reducing sugar because it acts as a reductant in chemical reactions. This can

The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork borer‚ I will slice them into a certain width and then place them into distilled water at different temperatures. Using a colorimeter I will measure the anthocyanin that will diffuse into the distilled water‚ the higher the reading of the colorimeter the more anthocyanin

for dispersion. There is no indication that betalains protect plants from pathogens or herbivores‚ and they also do not absorb UV light. Betalains are also poor pH indicators. In this experiment the betalain will be measured by using a colorimeter. A colorimeter is an instrument which compares the amount of light getting through a solution (Betalain) with the amount which can get through a sample of which is clear (distilled water). A reading is then given of which shows the percentage of absorbance
