Spectroscopy is the analogy between radiated energy, a source of matter and helps with the study of colours. Spectroscopy allows us to see how atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Typically these measures are known to be a spectroscope. It allows us to measure how light is emitted, scattered or absorbed by a source of material. In addition the importance of spectroscopy is that it allows us to identify study and quantify a source of material. The different colour spectrum for light includes gamma ray, x-ray, Ultraviolet radiation (UV), infrared radiation (IR), microwaves and radio waves. Spectroscopy serves many purpose in chemistry and worldwide. Spectroscopy has many purposes and uses worldwide. Spectroscopy allows chemists to engineer synthetic routes to help create new compounds from materials.
Spectroscopy serves multiple purposes in a wide variety of industries. Spectroscopy’s purpose in an industry includes helping to develop new chemicals and compounds which are able to be used as medical sources and supplies. Furthermore, spectroscopy can help with the purification of drugs and the creation of new drugs through the creation of different compounds. Chemists are not the only people that use Spectroscopy but physicists and biologists as well. Physicists use spectroscopy in the same correlation as chemists use it, while biologists use it to determine the different type of pigments a plant contains and helps in the study of photosynthesis.
As we already now know, Spectroscopy is the study of how light is emitted, absorbed and scattered through a material source. In the world of science many different types of Spectroscopy exists, but for this assignment I will only be speaking of five types, which include, Infrare...

...st zone, this has a hybridization of sp3. This functional group is located on zone two and is between 2960-2850cm-1 and in addition to that, it is also known as an alkyl. Zone 3 as represented by the purple box is an aromatic or alkene, with a double between two carbon atoms (C=C). This bond is the main component that helps us form the benzene structure to form our molecule. This zone is typically around 1680-1450cm-1 wavenumbers. Lastly, the last box as seen in the diagram above in the orange box represents another functional group. The functional group that zone 4 represents is a C-Cl bond. This singe carbon and chlorine bond is located on the wavenumber axis of 600-800cm-1 and in addition its intensity is high. In conclusion from the graph observed, we managed to determine the main components and functional groups that formed our compound, benzyl chloride.
Absorbance was defined as: log I_o/I where I_o is incident light and I is the transmitted light. Fluorescence emission spectrum is different from fluorescence excitation spectrum because it records different wavelengths of chemical s...
A weak peak was at a position between 1600-1620 cm-1 can also be seem in the IR, which was likely to be aromatic C=C functional group that was from two benzene rings attached to alkynes. On the other hand, the IR spectrum of the experimental diphenylacetylene resulted in 4 peaks. The first peak was strong and broad at the position of 3359.26 cm-1, which was most likely to be OH bond. The OH bond appeared in the spectrum because of the residue left from ethanol that was used to clean the product at the end of recrystallization process. It might also be from the water that was trapped in the crystal since the solution was put in ice bath during the recrystallization process. The second peak was weak, but sharp. It was at the position of 3062.93 cm-1, which indicated that C-H (sp2) was presence in the compound. The group was likely from the C-H bonds in the benzene ring attached to the alkyne. The remaining peaks were weak and at positions of 1637.48 and 1599.15 cm-1, respectively. This showed that the compound had aromatic C=C function groups, which was from the benzene rings. Overall, by looking at the functional groups presented in the compound, one can assume that the compound consisted of diphenylacetelene and ethanol or
The basic principle of the spectrophotometeric technique is the measurement of interaction between energy and electrons of the substance. Spectrophotometric technique is an analytical method used for estimating concentration of metal ion in liquid solution. One of the most magnificent effects of complex formation is the change of spectral properties. The reason for light absorption by complexes are as follows.
A spectrum is a group of light wavelengths that are ordered in relation to their wavelength length. The electromagnetic spectrum consists radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. (1)Specifically, this lab looks at the visible light part of the spectrum because one of the colors in the visible light spectrum is shine through the sample. The visible light spectrum consists of colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The color chosen to be shine through the sample is affected by the color of sample when mixed with the indicator Ammonium Vanadomolybdate (AMV). The color on the color wheel that is opposite of the solution’s color is the color that is shined through the
IR spectroscopy measures the absorption of infrared light that corresponds to transitions among different molecular vibrations (Gilbert & Martin 2011). An IR spectroscopy is typically used to determine the presence or absence of functional groups of a given
This experiment is monitoring the reaction of sodium hydroxide and crystal violet using spectroscopy. Graphical methods will be used to determine the kinetic rate law, rate constant and activation energy for the reaction.
Using the spectrophotometer, the absorption of each sample was measured by scanning the wavelengths. After calibrating the spectrophotometer with the blank test tube, each sample was placed into the spectrophotometer and read at 360nm. Observations were continued for each pigment sample increasing the wavelength by 20nm increments. Once these absorbance values were recorded, absorption spectra for each pigment were graphed.

The presence of the strong peak at 1602 cm-1 supports the claim that there is an aromatic ring located in the product. Another piece of evidence to support the E1cB reaction step is the presence of the strong alkene C=C stretch (conj) located at 1628.2 ppm which supports the claim of the combination of the two reagents. Methoxy is represented in the product through the two peaks located at 1655.2 cm-1 and 1278.7cm-1 which shows that the Ketone C=O stretch (conj) and ether C-O stretch are located in the final product. Chloro is found in the product through the chlorine displayed as an alkyl halide C-Cl stretch in the product through the peak at 675.8
... our daily life and has lot of consequences. For example, we know that black surfaces absorb more thermal energy and reflect less thermal energy. Similarly, the shiny surfaces absorb less energy and reflect more energy. This is the main reason that a black car parked in the sun will heat more as compare to the white car. The process of radiation is also used in the field of medicine. Thermography is an interesting use of the radiation in the medicine. Thermograph is a scan of the picture of the body and is a photograph according to the intensity of the radiation at different places. Since diseased parts are usually more hot so thermograph shows prominent white and red spots which helps the doctors to diagnose the disease.
Every chemical element or compound have specific properties that make them different than the other. However, these properties help us to understand every element or compound in which they can be used and how we can deal with them. These properties can be chemical properties which are defined as "that property must lead to a change in the substances ' chemical structure", such as heat of combustion and flammability ("Physical and Chemical…"). Also, these properties can be physical properties which are defined as the properties "that can be measured or observed without changing the chemical nature of the substance", such as mass, volume, boiling and freezing points ("Physical and Chemical…"). These two properties are related to each other. For

Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is the study of energy levels in atoms or molecules, using absorbed or emitted electromagnetic radiation. There are many categories of spectroscopy eg. Atomic and infrared spectroscopy, which have numerous uses and are essential in the world of science. When investigating spectroscopy four parameters have to be considered; spectral range, spectral bandwidth, spectral sampling and signal-to-noise ratio, as they describe the capability of a spectrometer. In the world of spectroscopy there are many employment and educational opportunities as the interest in spectroscopy and related products is increasing.
Nurses monitor vital signs, administer medication and insert IV’s. It is extremely important that they know how to give the correct dosage of medication to their patients because the wrong dosage could harm the patient. Chemistry gives nurses the knowledge about compounds like medicine. It teaches them what medications are made of and what they will do to the patient when it is administered. Understanding chemistry will allow nurses to know why medications within the same classification or similar names do not work the same.
Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.
