Copper LabBy: Jonathan Pilafas (performed on 11/5/2018)
Purpose: The objective of this lab is to determine the concentration of copper (II) ions in a
solution of unknown concentration as a hypothetical example to determine if the concentration
of the copper (II) ions meets or exceeds the action level established by the EPA.

Methods:
During part one of this experiment, my group filled cuvettes with various concentrations of Cu
and water. Then we transferred these solutions to a spectrophotometer to measure the visible
spectrum of each solution. During part two, we did the same testing for two concentrations of Cu
that had been previously prepared before class. During part three, we analyzed our data and
recorded them onto graphs to visualize the trend of our data.
