Objective Determine the mass of the Dried Au Nanofibers Create new AuNPs Description Determine the mass of the Dried Au Nanofibers After evaporating all H2O from the samples, the mass was determined and the mass of the weigh boat subtracted The yield of the reaction is very small Data Au Nanofiber Mass Boat A: 2.3428g Nanofibers: 3.4mg Boat B: 2.3712g Nanofibers: 5.7mg Total Nanofibers: 9.1mg Notes The mass of nanofibers is representative of 10, 5mL preparations of the Au Nanofibers. Also the colloid solution formed fibers. The cutoff point is 35:1, so skirting that line risks fiber formation rather than colloid.
