Calibration Scales
• Know how to read the calibration marks on a piece of calibrated glassware and determine:
1.the correct number of significant figures2.the correct volume reading

Graduated Cylinder• 10 mL and 100 mL sizes are most common• 0.0 mL when empty, 10.00 mL when full (or 100.0 mL when full)In General:1. Find difference between numbered tick marks2. Use the un-numbered tick marks between the two numbered
marks, count the number of jumps from one numbered mark to the other
3. Determine what each un-numbered mark is worth4. Estimate one digit beyond the un-numbered tick marks (this is the
last significant digit for the volume)5. Read the volume, using the correct number of significant figures

SF and Volume Reading• Difference between numbered
calibration tick marks: 8 mL – 7 mL = 1 mL• There are 9 un-numbered tick marks
between the 7 and 8 marks (10 jumps from 7 to 8)
• Each un-numbered tick mark is worth:
1 mL / 10 jumps = 0.1 mL per jump• Estimate one digit beyond un-
numbered mark 0.1? mL (use 2 digits after decimal
point for SF, . _ _ mL)

Read a Volume with Correct SF
• 10 mL graduated cylinder
• Read volume at the bottom of meniscus, at eye level
• More than 7, less than 8• 7.? ? mL• 7.5 ? mL• 7.53 mL

Calibration Curve and Spectrophotometer
Work in groups of four.
Everyone must make their own calibration curve.
CHE118 9
Calibration Curves
Calibration curves show the linear relationship between absorbance and concentration.

Absorbance
Concentration, M
Spectrophotometer
An instrument that will indicate the amount of light (of one wavelength) absorbed by a sample

Beer – Lambert Law
A = abcA is absorbance of light by the samplea is the molar extinction coefficientb is the solution path lengthc is the concentration of solute
This is a linear relationship; y = mx + bA = mc + b

Making the Calibration Curve
• You will acquire an absorbance reading for each standard solution provided
• Plot the corresponding concentration and absorbance values as data points on a graph to construct the calibration curve

Find the Absorbance of the Unknown Solution
1. Use a disposable transfer pipet (plastic) to almost fill a small test tube with the unknown solution
2. Wipe the outside of the test tube (remove droplets and fingerprints)
3. Place this test tube in the sample compartment of the spectrophotometer (use the same spectrophotometer each time)
4. Record the absorbance readout from the spectrophotometer
CHE118 15
Find the Concentration of the Unknown Solution
1. You will have an absorbance reading for your solution (from the spectrophotometer).
2. Find that absorbance reading on the y axis of the calibration curve.
3. At that point on the y axis, move horizontally across to the calibration curve line (use a ruler)
4. When you reach the line, drop straight down to the x axis
5. The value that you are at on the x axis is the concentration of your solution
