1. From spinach, the chromatographic analysis will yield two major substances: (a) B-carotene (C40H56), which will separate from the spinach mixture to form a yellow band, and (b) chlorophyll A (CSSH72MGN4OS), which will separate from the mixture to form a green band. i. Describe the characteristics and draw structures of these molecules. ii. From the spectrophotometric analysis, what wavelength (Amax) would you expect ß-carotene (C40H56) to absorb? What wavelength would chlorophyll A (CssH72MgN4O5) absorb?

Spike recovery and detection limit. Species of arsenic found in drinking water include AsO32 3 (arsenite), AsO32 4 (arsenate), (CH3)2AsO2 2 (dimethylarsinate), and (CH3)AsO22 3 (methylarsonate). Pure water containing no arsenic was spiked with 0.40 mg arsenate/L. Seven replicate determinations gave 0.39, 0.40, 0.38, 0.41, 0.36, 0.35, and 0.39 mg/L.15 Find the mean percent recovery of the spike and the concentration detection limit (mg/L).
(Solution BII) Prepare 25.00 mL of ~4.000x10-4 M KMnO4 solution via dilution of Solution BI (~0.00100 M KMnO4). Using the appropriately sized volumetric pipet, transfer the required amount of your solution from (BI) into a 25.00 mL volumetric flask. Fill it to the mark with distilled water, stopper it and invert several times to mix. Measure the absorbance of this solution at wavelength of 530 nm, the wavelength where this compound absorbs light most strongly.
