You are given the suggestion that a 0.15 ppm quinine aqueous solution is a good concentration to shoot for in the experiments, but quinine fluoresces best when it is acidified to 0.10 M H2SO4. Describe how to make 100 mL of the recommended solution starting with quinine sulfate (actually, quinine hemisulfate salt monohydrate). Assume you also have 1.0 M sulfuric acid and de-ionized water. Describe the process of a substance undergoing fluorescence and compare to the process of phosphorescence.
