Beer’s Law and Making a Calibration Curve
1.
2.
Colored compounds absorb light that is shined through them
A = elC
Absorbance = (Extinction Coefficient)(length)(Concentration)
3. We will use test tubes #1-5 to make a calibration curve using Beer’s Law
4. Excess Fe3+ (0.200 M) pushes the reaction to the right: [HSCN]o = [FeSCN2+]
5. We must use Fe3+ solution as a blank to cancel out Fe3+ absorbance
6. Record %T and calculate A for the five different [HSCN] concentrations

Procedure for finding DH, DS, and DG (Tubes #6-9 at different T’s)
V.
You will use the same tubes (#6-9) at an ice bath (around 5 oC)
Hot tap water bath temperature (around 45 oC) [Not too hot! Boils off HSCN!)
You already have the room temperature data from these tubes (around 25 oC)

Plot lnK vs. 1/T for your three different temperatures
Use the following equations to calculate DH, DS, and DG for the reaction
ΔH   (slope)(R)
D S  (intercept )(R)
DG  DH - TDS
D G  -RTlnK

(use average K at Room Temp. in Kelvins)
R  8.3145 J/mol  K
Notes:
a.
Use parafilm to cover the test tubes as you mix the solutions thoroughly
b.
Spec20: 0% with nothing in it; 100% with Iron Solution only as Blank
c.
Fill cuvet with most dilute first, rinse with next most dilute, and so on
