目的

様々な濃度のCuSO₄溶液の吸光度を測定して検量線を作成し、ランベルト-ベールの法則を検証する。

背景

The Beer-Lambert law states that absorbance is directly proportional to both the concentration of the absorbing species and the path length of the sample (A = εbc). By preparing a series of standard solutions of known concentration and measuring their absorbance at a fixed wavelength, students construct a calibration curve. This curve can then be used to determine the concentration of unknown samples — a technique fundamental to analytical chemistry.

安全上の警告

  • CuSO₄ is an irritant — avoid skin contact
  • Do not pipette by mouth
  • Wipe cuvettes with lint-free tissue before measurements
  • Dispose of CuSO₄ solutions in inorganic waste

材料

  • Copper sulfate (CuSO₄·5H₂O) (10 g)
    For stock solution
  • Distilled water (500 mL)
    Solvent
  • Unknown CuSO₄ solution (50 mL)
    Prepared by instructor

器具

Colorimeter or spectrophotometer Cuvettes (matched pair) Volumetric flasks (100 mL, 6 total) Pipettes (10 mL, 25 mL) Pipette filler Graph paper or computer

手順

1

Prepare a 0.5M stock solution by dissolving 12.5 g CuSO₄·5H₂O in distilled water and making up to 100 mL.

5 分
2

Prepare standard solutions by dilution: 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 M. Label each flask clearly.

10 分
3

Set the colorimeter to 635 nm (red filter) — the maximum absorbance wavelength for blue CuSO₄ solutions.

3 分
4

Zero the instrument using a cuvette of distilled water (blank). Ensure the cuvette is clean and properly oriented.

2 分
5

Measure and record the absorbance of each standard solution, starting from the most dilute. Rinse the cuvette between samples.

15 分
6

Measure the absorbance of the unknown solution.

5 分
7

Plot absorbance (y-axis) vs. concentration (x-axis). Draw the best-fit line and determine the unknown concentration from the graph.

20 分

予想される結果

The plot should show a linear relationship (straight line through the origin) for the standard solutions. The unknown concentration is read from the x-axis at the corresponding absorbance on the calibration curve.

後片付け

Pour CuSO₄ solutions into the inorganic waste container. Rinse all volumetric flasks and cuvettes with distilled water.
