In infrared (IR) spectroscopy, infrared light interacts with molecules of the substance. The collected data is used to determine the substance. Infrared light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and contains longer wavelengths than visible light. In this type of spectroscopy, an IR beam passes through the sample substance. Consequently, the covalent bonds absorbs the beam, thus this causes a change in the vibrations of the dipole moment in the substance. This spectroscopy is primarily used in organic and inorganic chemistry in order to determine the functional groups in the substance, as various functional groups have specific vibrations when absorbing the IR beam.
A dipole moment is the degree of separation between two opposite charges. The dipole moment can be either stretched or bent within the compound. As well, stronger bonds in the substance and light atoms will vibrate or rotate at a higher frequency, thus acquiring a higher wavenumber. A wavenumber is the number of wave cycles in one centimetre. The information gathered from the IR spectroscopy can be interpreted from an IR spectrum graph of the material. On such a graph, the wavenumber is on the x-axis, whereas the transmittance percentage is on the y-axis. The transmittance percentage indicates the strength of the light that was absorbed by the substance at each frequency. In addition, the graph is divided into two areas: the function group and the fingerprint region. The function group region on the graph is between 4000 cm-1 to 1000 cm-1, whereas the region less than 1000 cm-1 is regarded as the fingerprint region. The fingerprint region is composed of a series of difficult absorptions.

...nce. The intensity of the light reflected from the sample substance is also compared to the light intensity before it passes through the material. The basis of this spectroscopy is based on the concept of electronic transition. The pi electrons (electrons in a pi bond) can become excited as the molecule containing them absorbs ultraviolet and/or visible light. As a result, the electrons move to a higher anti-bonding molecular orbital. This orbital holds an electron that is located on the outside region between two nuclei. In other words, an anti-bonding orbital contains lone pairs of electrons. The difference in the orbitals determines the wavelength and frequency of the light that was absorbed by the substance. This collected data allows scientists to infer the identity of the compound. Generally, this spectroscopy is used frequently for quantitative measurements.
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...
The analyzed yellow#5 wavelength was determined to 395nm because the actual wavelength 427nm was restricted in the Micro lab. The R2 value of the graph is 0.9827, and the level of data accuracy it indicated extremely weak data correlation. The first one dilution data points excluded from the standard curve because the point is not in the linear curve. The first concentration and absorbance value are the highest point in the graph that cannot connect as linear with another data point. After removing the first data point, the standard curve is clear and make
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 goal of this experiment is to study the most precise way of measuring molecular bond lengths and introduction to computational software used for studying molecular properties. This is of interest in that the instrument to being used, a Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, can measure the vibrational and rotational transitions of the fundamental and first overtone of CO. Through this experiment the objective is to collect data from the aforementioned instrument in order to determine vibrational and rotational spectroscopic constants and CO’s bond length, then to compare them with quantum chemical calculation.
where 'n' number of ligands attached to a metal ion which can be easily determined from the position of the maximum or minimum in the graph. If the metal ion and the ligand are colorless, but the complex species is colored, then there will be maximum at the composition of the complex in the plots of absorbance versus composition.
The color that was chose to be shined through the sample was purple. The spectrophotometer was set at a wavelength of 400nm to represent the purple color. It was zeroed using the blank meaning the spectrophotometer read zero as absorbance amount. The blank consisted of 5mL of water and 2.5 mL AVM and it was placed in cuvette. A solution with a known concentration of 2.0x10-4 M was used in the spectrometer. For this solution, 5 mL of the solution with 2.5 mL of AMV was placed in the cuvette. The cuvette was placed inside of spectrophotometer and the amount of absorbance was recorded. This procedure that involves a solution with a known concentration was repeated for the concentrations:1.0x10-4 M,5.0x10-5 M,2.0x10-5M, and1.0x10-5M.A unknown solution absorbance was measured by putting 5 mL of unknown solution with 2.5 mL AMV in a cuvette. The cuvette was placed in the spectrophotometer and the amount of absorbance was recorded. The procedure that deals with the unknown solution was repeated 2 more times with the same solution and the same amount of solution and AMV. The average of the three unknown solution was calculated and the concentration of the unknown solution was
In order to compare the pink plastic wrap that held Shannon's jewelry and the pink saran wrap that was found in Powers home, they had to use Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy or FT-IR. What FT-IR does is it uses infrared radiation to pass through a sample and before the infrared radiation passes all the way through some of it is absorbed into the object, and the rest passes through. The spectrum that makes it through the sample shows the transmission and molecular absorption while producing a molecular fingerprint of the sample. The molecular fingerprint of the sample is unique, more like DNA than a fingerprint as no two molecular fingerprints are the same. There are three details FT-IR can provide for people, including identification of unknown materials, determine the quality or consistency of a sample, and determine the amount of components there are in a
Atomic Absorption (AA) Spectroscopy is a quantitative analysis technique that uses the absorption of light through a flame and gaseous chemicals. AA Spectroscopy can be used for a multitude of purposes, most notably finding the concentration of one or a few elements in a compound. AA Spectroscopy can work in two different ways using an open flame and gaseous chemicals or a graphite furnace. Flame AA Spectroscopy works by taking a compound or element and disassociating it into an aqueous solution. The solution is then blown through an incredibly small nozzle which nebulizes the liquid into a very fine mist. The nebulized liquid is then blown through a flame with a very small beam of light passing through it. This light beam detects different elements in the flame and uses the known light absorbance of the element to determine the concentration of the element in the solution. The other form of AA Spectroscopy uses a graphite furnace to heat up and incinerate a sample. A solid compound is placed in the furnace which then heats up to 2000-3000 C effectively atomizing the compound and in the process turning the rest into ash. The light beam is then shot through the furnace as the solid is being heated and subsequently atomized and the machine records the absorbance rate much like the Flame AA Spectroscopy would. The difference between flame and furnace spectroscopy is in the atomization of the sample; because the Flame Spectroscopy uses pressure to atomize the compound, much of the compound is lost when sprayed
Fetters, Nyswonger and Arduser are all former members of the Raisins, a Cincinnati-based band that was a local success in the early 1980s. In 1983, the Raisins, who then consisted of Fetters, Nyswonger, Rick Neiheisel (keyboards, vocals) and Rick "Bam" Powell (drums, vocals), recorded an eponymous album, produced by Adrian Belew. Adrian's friendship with the Raisins dated back to the mid-'70s, when he crossed paths with them as a member of a band named Sweetheart before being discovered by Frank Zappa. The Raisins album, which was released on the small Cincinnati-based label Strugglebaby, produced a local No. 1 hit, "Fear is Never Boring" (later re-recorded for the Bears' first album), on popular Cincinnati radio stations. Clive Davis, then head of Arista Records, considered signing the band, but the Raisins didn't break through nationally.
In the story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” the author Conan Doyle portrays many different narrative techniques. He uses these techniques to provide meaning for the audience as well as help them visualize the situation that was being described. The different techniques used are narrative discourse, suspense, conflict, close, and focalization in his story. Narrative discourses are events, to describe a series of events that are contingent one on another. Typically focuses on one or more performers of actions. Personal experience can influence narrative discourse due to the explaining of significant events in the life of the narrator. Narrative discourse is made up of setting, developing
All the students, in our dormitory have signed a petition requesting that more security personnel be on duty throughout the night. As it became harder for the smoker to breathe, she decided to except her doctor's advice and give up cigarettes. Sherlock Holmes, who's my favorite fictional detective, is featured in _The Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Because the mud in that field is deeper than it appears to be, people should'nt attempt to ride their bicycles through

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.
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) founded on 1993. IrDA is utilized for high speed short range, line of sight, point-to-point cordless data transfer via infrared light waves. IrDA is the radio transmission of light ray infrared measured in Terahertz or Trillions of Hertz (cycles per seconds) is modulated with information send from transmitter to receiver in short distance. Does not specify any security measures. Infrared radiation(IR) is used to control a TV set with a remote control. Infrared data communication is most use in wireless data communication due to popularity of laptop computers, personal digital assistant(PDA), digital cameras, mobile telephone, pagers and other devices. IrDA specifications include IrPHY, IrLAP, IrLMP, IrCOMM, Tiny TP, IrOBEX, IrLAN, and IrSimple.
