FTIR ANALYSIS Ed Hare‚ Ph.D. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analysis provides spectral information that is essentially a molecular fingerprint for organic‚ polymeric‚ and in some case inorganic materials. This technique is extremely useful for identifying base polymer compositions and organic contaminants. The FTIR spectrum of the unknown material can be compared for “best matches” with libraries of spectra that have been cataloged for known materials. An example of an FTIR spectrum for

I. Abstract The purpose of this practical was to measure the amount of a chemical substance present in a sample. Primarily‚ the aim of Experiment 1 was to measure the absorption spectrum of a particular coloured substance (in this case Bromophenol Blue and Methyl Orange) at varying wavelengths of light. The goal of this experiment was to measure the given amounts of a given chemical substance that was present in a given sample of Methyl Orange and in blood. We measured the optical density at wavelengths

NOTES AND COMMENT 343 DETERMINATION OF CHLOROPHYLL AND PHEO-PIGMENTS : SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC EQUATIONS~ It has been shown that chlorophyll degradation products may at times constitute a significant fraction of the total green pigments present in seawater (Yentsch and Menzel 1963; Lorenzen 1965; Yentsch 1965). These degraded forms‚ or inactive chlorophyll‚ absorb light in the red part of the spectrum; if they are present in concentrations significant relative to chlorophyll a‚ a serious error

Tiboelectric Series Lab Fleur Vande Kerckhove 9A Purpose/Aim: How do the triboelectric series from different materials classify themselves due to their affinity (gaining or losing) when being measured by a gold leaf electroscope? Hypothesis: If the materials change (from: wool‚ rabbit fur‚ cotton‚ aluminum‚ nylon‚ amber‚ celluloid‚ silver‚ silicon and acrylic) to classify their affinity of their triboelectric series then rabbit fur will have a higher affinity compared to the rest of the materials

In the Polaroid design the membrane is a special foil consisting of a Kempton® film coated with gold. The foil is stretched over a V-grooved plate‚ Figure 2.5. The transducer is protected by stainless steel housing. A few models with different housings are available. The sizes of these transducers are the main drawback since they are from 30 up to 45 mm in diameter. A further analysis of this structure and its dynamic features is found in [Attila et. al.‚ 1995]. The piezoelectric transducer is based

In this experiment spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solutions were placed under various filters and the percent orange light transmittance through the solution was measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light

Chapter 5 – Forensic Toxicology 1. What are the three areas covered by forensic toxicology? Toxicology covers post-mortem drug testing‚ workplace drug testing and investigations into contraband materials. 2. Name six specimen types that are often tested in forensic toxicology. Under what circumstances is each specimen preferred? Blood – When testing for DUI’s‚ and two samples for every death case. Urine – Preemployment drug testing and is preferred over blood as its eacsy to collect large amounts

PHY 114: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the mass thickness attenuation factor for beta rays when they pass through polyethylene sheets of varying thicknesses. This was done by using an apparatus that measured the seven different intensities and then taking these values‚ putting them through a number of calculations and finally generating a graph of ln(I_corr) versus the thickness of the polyethylene sheets. Once this graph
