Try a range of different types of paper to see if the paper type makes a difference to exposure time, depth of exposure, etc. Why do you have to wash your hands at the end?.Does the paper change colour quickly when it is exposed to the light?.Why does your prepared blueprint paper need to be kept in the dark?.Wash the paper with water to wash away the green chemicals and leave the blue behind.


Now weigh 9 g of Substance B into the beaker marked B.Weigh 5 g of Substance A into the beaker marked A.Get two 100 cm 3 beakers, a measuring cylinder and a stirring rod.1 drying line with 2 bulldog clips (or string and pegs).Ammonium iron(III) citrate – labelled “Substance B” (low hazard).Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) – labelled “Substance A – Irritant” (low hazard).20 sheets (or access to) plain A4 paper avoid shiny or very absorbent papers.1 wash bottle containing distilled water.You decide to investigate further… Equipment: However, before you can use these shades, you need to understand how they are made. You realise that the shades of white and blue would be perfect for a piece of art you are currently working on. On a table were the Blueprints for the building. While on a school trip, you saw that some renovation work was being carried out by some builders. Investigating the process of producing Blueprints and the role UV light plays.Producing an image or diagram on my Blueprint paper.Carrying out an experiment to produce Blueprint paper.The iron(II) ion reacts with the potassium ferricyanide to form an insoluble blue compound, blue iron(III) ferrocyanide, also known as Prussian blue. The two iron salts do not react with each other in the dark, but when they are exposed to ultraviolet light the iron(III) ammonium citrate becomes an iron(II) salt. The paper is coated with a solution of two soluble iron(III) salts.
