Monochromator: Separates the incoming light into its individual wavelengths. Sample Holder Detector: captures the intensity of light transmitted/reflected by sample. Display: shows the absorbance or transmittance values Transmittance Is ratio of intensity of light transmitted through the sample I to I0. T = I/I0 Absorbance = − log 10 (T) Barium was used to test for presence of sulfate. What observation distinguishes control positive from control negative rxn? Positive: tested a solution known to contain sulfate ions; white precipitate formed. Negative: lack of sulfate ions; no precipitate Precipitate is key to observation to distinguish between control positive and negative What systematic error would occur if the vial were ridiculously short? Positive error. A short vial would cause alum inside to burn since the sides of the vial would get hotter faster. burned alum would cause excess dehydration, leading to lower mass and a error of % loss.
