Written by Johanna ABSTRACT: This experiment effectively determined the differences between Iron (II) and Ruthenium (II) Tris-2,2’-bipyridine complexes through the comparison of absorption and emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. In both the UV/Vis absorption and emission spectra, the Ru (II) complex shows far greater molar absorptivity values and fluorescence. The iron complex does not fluoresce. The MLCT peaks in the UV/Vis spectra correspond to the energy of the t2g à t2g* or HOMO à LUMO transitions, 2.64 x 105 J/mol […]
Objectives: 1. Measure the electrical potential of a zinc/iron battery cell at differing concentrations. 2. Construct an electrolytic cell. Procedure: Voltaic Cell 1. Prepare a 100mL of 0.1M Iron (II) Sulfate solution in a 150mL beaker and place the iron strip in the solution. 2. Prepare a 100mL of 0.1M Zinc Sulfate solution in a 150mL beaker and place the zinc strip in the solution. 3. Connect the beakers using the plastic bridge, which must be filled with a KCl […]
