  • blood (via the iron in hemoglobin)
  • copper
  • cyanide
  • fecal matter
  • horseradish (via horseradish peroxidase)
  • iron and ferrous oxide (rust)
  • potassium permanganate
  • saliva

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 17.0 of luminol into a total volume of 75.0 of?

The concentration of the luminol stock solution is approximately 22.7 M.


Why does the luminol light reaction stop after a period of time?

The luminol reaction is an example of "chemiluminescence". This is when a chemical reaction yields a product in an electronically excited state (at least one electron in the product is at a level above the ground state). The excited product loses energy in the form of a photon of light when the electron drops to the ground state level. In the case of luminol the reaction is an oxidation under alkaline conditions and the reaction stops when either all the luminol, all the oxidising agent or all the alkali has been converted


What other chemicals besides iron and copper can act as catalysts for the luminol reaction?

Other chemicals that can act as catalysts for the luminol reaction include hemoglobin and horseradish peroxidase. These catalysts can enhance the chemiluminescence produced when luminol reacts with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an appropriate metal ion.


How many moles of luminol are present in 2.00 L of the diluted spray?

To determine the number of moles of luminol in 2.00 L of diluted spray, you need to know the concentration of luminol in the spray, typically expressed in moles per liter (M). Using the formula: [ \text{moles} = \text{concentration (M)} \times \text{volume (L)} ] you can calculate the moles of luminol by multiplying the concentration by the volume of the solution. Without the specific concentration value, the number of moles cannot be determined.

Does luminol work better with human or with animal blood?

It "works" better with neither; it reacts equally well to both, even though the blood of lower vertebrates, such as birds and lizards, has nuclei, whereas the blood of mammals does not. Luminol will react with most substances that have large amounts of iron. It will even react to horseradish.


What types of reactions can enzymes catalyze?

Enzymes can catalyze reactions such as oxidation-reduction, hydrolysis, condensation, and isomerization. They can also facilitate reactions involving the transfer of functional groups or rearranging molecular structures.

How does temperature affect luminol at a crime scene?

If the temperature is cold then the luminol will have a brighter excited state than if the temperature was hot or room temp.


What is luminol used for in crime scenes?

The basic idea of luminol is to reveal blood traces with a light producing chemical reaction between several chemicals and hemoglobin.

Explain why ivestigators may spray a crime scene with HCI before using luminol?

Investigators may spray a crime scene with hydrochloric acid (HCl) before using luminol to help remove any potential contaminants or residues that could interfere with the reaction of luminol with blood. This ensures a clean surface for the luminol to detect any hidden blood traces effectively.

Are antibodies proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered?

No, antibodies are not proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to help recognize and neutralize foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered.
