'''LaTeX''' is a markup language and typesetting system for producing high-quality documents. The X symbol is supposed to represent the Greek character chi, making the proper pronunciation lah-tech or lay-tech.

Spectrophotometry concepts were used to prepare a calibration curve, and from this, and knowledge of the absorbtion of apple juice, the concentration of cranberry juice in the juice mixture was determined to be about 9.042\%, with all effects of the apple juice neglected due to increased complexity. \end{abstract} \baselineskip = 24pt\section{Introduction} In this lab, students calculated the total percentage of cranberry juice in a cranberry-applemixture. Students used concepts of spectrophotometry and dilution to prepare a calibrationcurve, against which the absorbtion spectrum of the cranberry-apple juice is compared, followingthe Beer-Lambert law. Studentsalso use knowledge of light to determine whether the apple juice present contributes to thedeep red colour of the cranberry-apple juice.The spectrophotometric techniques used differ from those used in other labs: thisspectrophotometer determines the absorbance at a range of wavelengths and presents this dataas a graph, making it easy to determine the maximum absorbance and compare those of two differentsubstances. \section{Experimental} \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Procedure:}} First, 20\% solutions of the cranberry juice and the apple juice are prepared for testing: 100 mL of the cranberry dilute is produced, and about 50 mL of the apple dilute is prepared. The absorbtion spectra of both are measured with the spectrophotometer, recording the absorbance at the wavelenght of highest absorption ($\lambda _{\mathrm{max}}$) for cranberry. A calibration curve is prepared, using dilutions of 4\%, 8\%, 12\%, and 16\% cranberry prepared from the 20\%, along with the 20\% sample already prepared. The absorbance of each at $\lambda _{\mathrm{max}}$ is used to create a calibration curve. Finally, measure the absorbance of the cranberry-apple juice at $\lambda _{\mathrm{max}}$ and determine the concentration of cranberry juice in the cranberry-apple juice mixture. \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Data:}} \begin{table}[h] %A table with a caption; good style for presenting data \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{ c c c } \multicolumn{3}{c}{\bf Measured Absorption at 510 nm}\\ \toprule Juice & Concentration (\%) & Absorption\\ \hline Cranberry & 4 & 0.329\\ Cranberry & 8 & 0.557\\ Cranberry & 12 & 0.744\\ Cranberry & 16 & 1.007\\ Cranberry & 20 & 1.400\\ Apple & 20 & 0.137\\ Cran-Apple & Unknown& 0.604\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} \caption{Absorption of standard solutions and the unknown sample} \label{tab:Conc} \end{table} \begin{figure}[h] %A graph (PDF generated from SVG in Inkscape; SVG generated by LibreOffice from collected data) \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=5in]{CalCurve10} \end{center} \caption{\centering Graph made from Table \ref{tab:Conc} showing straight-line\\ relation of calibration curve absorbance} \label{fig:cal} \end{figure} % \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Observations:}} \vfill\eject %this creates a new page \section{Results and Discussion} \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Results and Discussion:}} The apple juice has one-tenth the absorbance of the cranberry juice at 510 nm, and therefore, for this calculation, can be assumed negligible: it increases the complexity without being a significant source of error. Based on the colour of the apple juice, I am surprised it contributes any significant absorbtion at 510 nm, deep in the green spectrum, to anything at all. However, since it does contribute some absorbance, this will result in a high concentration of cranberry compared to the actual value, since cranberry would then not be the only source of colour and absorption at that wavelength. The cranberry juice absorbs very little outside of the 510 nm wavelength, resulting in its profoundly red colour (if green is absorbed, red -- opposite green on the colour wheel -- is not absorbed). Apple juice has a yellow hue, indicating most of the absorption happens in the purple spectrum. This is why the apple juice has a low affect on the absorbtion of the cranberry-apple juice. \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Sample Calculations:}} Concentration of the unknown can be directly calculated using known absorbances and the calibration curve (figure \ref{fig:cal}) slope: $$f(x) = \mathrm{absorbance} = 0.604$$ $$x = \mathrm{concentration}$$ $$f(x) = 0.0668x $$ $$\frac{0.604\,abs}{0.0668\,\cfrac{abs}{\%}} = 9.042 \%\,\mathrm{cranberry\,juice}$$ If the absorbance of the apple juice is accounted for, then one-eleventh of the absorbance is caused by the apple juice, or: $$\frac{10}{11} * 9.042 \%\,\mathrm{cranberry+apple\,juice} = 8.22\%$$ While this is a non-negligible difference, this is also based on assumptions of accuracy for the value of absorbance of apple juice at $\lambda _{\mathrm{max}}$, basically a two-point calibration curve, and the assumption that the apple juice is at the same concentration, which is not a valid assumption. \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Experimental Uncertainty:}} The largest source of error in results is the compexity of calculating the exact concentration of cranberry, by accounting for apple juice and other additives in the cranberry-apple juice. \section{Conclusions} This lab exposed students to the Beer-Lambert law, and honed skills of using spectrophotometry,calibration curves, dilution concepts, and general laboratory technique. The final concentrationof cranberry in the cranberry-apple juice was determined to be about 9.042\%, neglecting alleffects of the apple juice on absorbtion spectrum. \bibliography{HumanUnreadable,savedrecs} %this part is autogenerated from .bib files named there, in the ASC format %Should be named references; Should be numbered like a section (but that is hard) \section*{Supporting Information} %Not numbered \subsection*{\underline{\normalsize \rm Answers to Post-Laboratory Questions:}} \begin{enumerate} \item The carrot juice in this cranberry-apple juice has pigmentation which absorbs a broader spectrum than cranberry juice alone does. This juice will be darkest if the carrot juice absorbed in the red spectrum, however, presuming it absorbs in the blue spectrum (opposite orange on the colour wheel), the juice would absorb a large block in what are traditionally described as ``cool colours'', thus the juice will appear as a very dark red-orange. \item In this article, Polish researchers Wiczkowski et al. studied the effect of fermentation of cabbage on human antioxidant capacities. Their research focused on the effects of fermentation on the presence of anthocyanins, which they then concluded is correlated to human antioxidant capacities. It was determined that bioavailability of anthocyanin was 10\% higher in fresh cabbage, and consequently antioxidant capacities of the humans eating the fresh cabbage was higher than that of those consuming the fermented cabbage\cite{cabbage}.\end{enumerate} \end{document}</pre> [[Category:Campus_computing_resources]][[Category:Howtos]][[Category:Pending deletionSoftware]]
