CHEM 162 Experiment #5: Spectrochemical Series
Goals of this lab:
• Produce a copper coordination compound and evaluate the yield
• Calculate d-orbital splitting energies from spectral data in nanometers
• Apply Crystal Field Theory to the comparison of ligand field strengths among groups of
coordination complexes
• Assess the accuracy of experimental data and identify sources of error
Your lab report will be graded on the following criteria using a poor/good/excellent rating
system:
• Calculations are complete are accurate, with proper use of significant figures and units
• Data collected is reasonable
• Lab report is clear, legible, and neat
• Error analysis is well-supported and valid
By signing below, you certify that you have not falsified data, that you have not plagiarized
any part of this lab report, and that all calculations and responses other than the reporting of
raw data are your own independent work. Failure to sign this declaration will result in 5

Laboratory Waste Evaluation
Laboratory waste is considered anything generated during an experiment that is disposed of down the
sewer drain, thrown in the garbage, collected in a container for disposal by the UW Environmental
Health & Safety department, or released into the environment. Based on the written lab procedure
and your actions during the lab, list the identity and approximate amount (mass or volume) of waste
that you generated while performing this experiment.
- ~0.25 g NH2CH2CO2H
- ~0.5 g CuSO4*5H2O
- ~1L DI water
- ~2 filter paper
- ~20 mL copper complexes
- ~10 mL iron complexes
- ~6 mL cobalt complexes
- ~4 papertowels
- ~5 kim wipes

% Yield 87.06

Discuss your % yield. It is high or low? What are the contributing factors to this high or low %
yield?
% yield = (experimental / theoretical) * 100 => (0.3290 g/ 0.3779 g) * 100 = 87.06% yield
The percent yield was slightly lower, this may have been caused by adding too little of sodium
bicarbonate or accidentally rinsing the precipitate with water.
