LAB 6 ANALYSIS OF WATER IN PHOSPHATE Name: Lab Partners: None
 Date of Experiment: November 13, 12 Location: My House Course Number: CHE111C21 Abstract: In this experiment, we used a simple colorimeter and Beer’s Law to find the concentration of a tap water sample. A Beer’s law calibration curved was drawn showing the absorbance of varying concentrations of phosphate. Phosphate solutions will produce standard colors when mixed with ammonium molybdate and stannous chloride. The concentration of the unknown solution containing phosphate will be determined using the calibration curve. A voltmeter was used to measure the electrical resistance of different solutions. * Experiment and Observation: The plastic and glassware used in this experiment was thoroughly washed with hot water and rinsed with distilled water. * * Part I: Preparation of Standard Phosphate Solutions 1. 1.0 ppm standard: 1.00 mL of 10.0 ppm phosphate solution was placed in a 25 mL graduated cylinder and diluted to exactly the 10 mL mark with distilled water then poured into a plastic cup labeled 1. Cylinder was rinsed with distilled water. * * 2. 2.0 ppm standard: 2.00 mL of 10.0 ppm phosphate solution was placed in a 25 mL graduated cylinder and diluted to exactly the 10 mL mark with distilled water then poured into a plastic cup labeled 2. Cylinder was rinsed with distilled water. * 3. 3.0 ppm standard: * 3.00 mL of 10.0 ppm phosphate solution was placed in a 25 mL graduated cylinder and diluted to exactly the 10 mL mark with distilled water then poured into a plastic cup labeled 3. Cylinder was rinsed with distilled water. * * 4. Zero standard: 10 mL of distilled water was poured into a plastic cup labeled 0. This sample will be treated with the color-developing reagent to serve as a zero or blank standard. * * Part II:
