17:00 Added 0.100 µL (0.0813 g) of a saturated trans-dibenzalacetone in 1-octanol (Vial B after 10 days of shaking from EXP328- 0.105M) into a 1 mL volumetric flask and filled with fresh 1-octanol. The 1 mL of solution was added to a 1-dram screw cap vial (vial A). 1 mL of distilled water was added vial A. This is a 10% 1-octanol solution. 17:15 Added 50 µL (0.0397 g) of a saturated trans-dibenzalacetone in 1-octanol (Vial B after 10 days of shaking from EXP328- 0.105M) into a 5 mL volumetric flask and filled with fresh 1-octanol. The 5 mL of solution was added to a 20 mL screw cap test tube (vial B) and 5 mL of distilled water was added to the test tube. This is a 1% 1-octanol solution. 17:30 Both vials were sealed with parafilm and placed on the shake flask apparatus in the 25°C water bath.

8:32 Removed vials A and B from the shake flask apparatus. 8:34 Added 50 µL (0.0504 g) of the bottom layer (water) from vial A into a 5 mL volumetric flask and filled the flask with ethanol to create Solution A_water100dilution. 8:45 Ethanol was placed in both the sample and the control cuvette and this was analyzed by the Lambda 2 Spectrometer. The absorbances at were recorded manually at individual wavelengths. Solution A_water100dilution was placed in the sample cuvette and it was analyzed manually using the Lambda 2 Spectrometer. The sample was also analyzed by the Lambda 35 Spectrometer and the file of the spectrum saved as ONSEXP335A_water100dilution. 9:10 Added 50 µL (0.0391 g) of the bottom (1-octanol) layer from vial A into a 5 mL volumetric flask and filled the flask with ethanol to create Solution B_octanol100dilution. 9:23 Added 50 µL (0.0378 g) of Solution B_octanol100dilution into a 5 mL volumetric flask and filled with ethanol to create Solution B_octanol10000dilution. Sample was analyzed by Lambda 2 Spectrometer by manually recording the absorbance at individual wavelengths and by Lambda 35 Spectrometer. The file of the spectrum was saved as ONSEXPA_octanol10000dilution. 9:55 Added bottom layer of vial B (water) to the sample cuvette and analyzed by both Lambda 2 and Lambda 35 Spectrometers. Used distilled water in the control cuvette, because the sample was not diluted at all. The file of the spectrum was saved as ONSEXP335B_water. 10:39 Added 50 µL (0.0400 g) of the top layer of vial B (1-octanol) to a 5 mL volumetric flask. Filled with ethanol to create Solution B_octanol100dilution. This was analyzed by both Lambda 2 and Lambda 35 Spectrometers. The spectrum of the file was saved as ONSEXP335B_octanol100dilution. 13:11 Added 250 µL (0.2010 g) of the saturated trans-dibenzalacetone in 1-octanol (Vial B after 10 days of shaking from EXP328- 0.105M) in a 5 mL volumetric flask and filled with fresh 1-octanol. Added this solution to a 20 mL screw cap vial and added 5 mL of fresh distilled water. This was vial C and a 5% 1-octanol solution. 13:20 8 mL of fresh 1-octanol and 8 mL of fresh distilled water was added to a 20 mL screw cap vial. This was vial D and was the control. 13:29 Both vials C and D were sealed with parafilm and placed in the 25°C water bath attached to the shake flask apparatus. 14:04 Removed both vials from the shake flask apparatus. Added the bottom layer (water) from vial D to both the control and sample cuvette and analyzed by Lambda 2 Spectrometer. A few small drops of the 1-octanol was visible in both cuvettes. The solution in the sample cuvette was removed. The solution in vial C was poured into a sep funnel and the bottom water layer was added to the sample cuvette. No droplets of 1-octanol were present in this sample. The sample was analyzed by the Lambda 2 Spectrometer.
