Gas Laws Lab Report Due

Chemistry
Reading:

· Read AP Exp. 4A pages 68-74
· Read Zumdahl appendix 3 pages A18-A21 on spectral analysis.

Homework:
· Zumdahl Ch. 6 # 38-41, 43, 61, 62, 65, 66
· Z. Ch 8 # 47-50 and 52
· Z. Ch 13 # 2, 19, 21, 22, 23,24,28, 57, 59, 60, 62

In lab: We will measure the concentration of NO2 in the air we breathe.
· Follow the experimental procedure outlined in Exp. 4A
· Prepare a calibration curve of absorbance vs. concentration NO2 in mL/mL and also use the flow rate to determine the concentration of NO2 in ppm.
· Be sure to take very good notes for this lab because you will be writing a lab report on your results.
· Do Exp. 4A applying your ideas page 73 a, b, e, f.
