Spectroscopic Analysis of Cr and Co

This lab was probably one of the most tedious we've had so far. Having to adjust the measurements every time we upped the wavelength took way too long than it should. Ganon and I used two different spectrophotometers, and the lab still took us until the bell. 

Our spectrophotometer looked a little like this

  1. Agreed, the lab work was one of the hardest ones because to get the calibrations perfect on the instruments was so difficult. Definitely not the most fun lab ever.

  2. I'd prefer even the aspirin lab over this snoozefest. It was way too complicated for what little action there was. I suppose that we can't have explosions and big reactions each time though.

  3. the calibrations of the instruments were very difficult. I had a hard time doing those. Otherwise it wasn't that bad of a lab. It wasn't super interesting, but it wasn't bad.
