Cobalamin complex
Not what you're looking for?
I have my final report and I have 2 questions about it. So our final product was a brown crystalline solid that had an absorbance at about 880nm. My first question is how is brown reflected (not in a literal sense) in the visible spectrum? that's outside visible region and I could find nothing about brown solids and absorbance in my book or online? My last question is why were having a steady stream of oxygen to the first part? was it to act as an oxidizing agent to cobalt?
