Physical Chemistry Lab Course

Brilliant green solvolysis

German version

Virtual lab course: Brilliant green spectra

This virtual lab course consists of a photometer, which determines the extinction of a sample as function of the wavelength. The extinction is calculated from the Lambert-Beer law according to the sample composition as well as simulated statistical noise.

The sample in this simulation is a mixture of brilliant green and carbinol base. The composition of the mixture is determined according to the kinetics described in the instructions.

You can restart the brilliant green solvolysis (which would correspond to a new preparation in the lab). The buffer solution can be selected below. Changing the buffer solution also leads to an automatic restart of the reaction.

The accuracy of the extinction of the photometer and the pH meter are as follows, respectively:

\begin{align*} \Delta E &= \pm 0.001 \; , \\ \Delta\mathrm{pH} &= \pm 0.01 \; . \end{align*}
