Instrumentation and Working Principles of Infra-Red (IR) Spectroscopy Using Salt Plates

Follow the procedure given below once all the apparatus has been introduced into the workspace:

  1. Click on the Sample Beaker to transfer small amount (around 1mg) of the Sample substance into the empty Mortar.
  2. Click on the Solvent Beaker to transfer 5 ml of the Solvent (Nizol) to the Mortar.
  3. Click on the Mortar to grind the mixture and make a paste.
  4. Click on the Mortar to draw 1 ml of the solution prepared to load on to the IR Plate.
  5. Click on the IR Plate to put it into the Desiccator.
  6. Click on the Observe button in the Control Menu to observe what is happening inside the Desiccator.
  7. Click on the Observe button again to observe the Intensity graph plotted.
  8. Click on the Restart button in the Control Menu to repeat the experiment from scratch.
