Luminol Post Lab

This document discusses luminol and chemiluminescence. It provides details on: 1) The acidity of carboxylic acid groups in 3-nitrophthalic acid and the intramolecular reaction of 3-nitrophthalic acid with hydrazine. 2) Calculating the equilibrium constant (Keq) for the reaction of 3-nitrophthalic acid with hydrazine using pKa values. 3) Why the intramolecular reaction of 3-nitrophthalic acid with hydrazine is favored over the intermolecular reaction.
