On Tuesday, we performed yet another lab. Sadly, this lab was not nearly as exciting as the flame test lab. For this lab, we adjusted various knobs on a spectrophotometer and found the amount of light in blue and pink solutions. It was really difficult to adjust the knob so that the number read exactly what it was supposed to. This was extremely time-consuming as we had to re-adjust the knobs for every single different wavelength. Additionally, it was dull as all the lab consisted of was a) adjust the knobs and b) record the number. Not very exciting.
Hopefully, we will be doing another lab this unit that is more hands-on!
I agree about it being boring. I found it very tedious, hopefully we'll do more exciting labs in the future.
