Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Stoichiometry; Chemical equilibrium
Introduction. Part II of the handout will apply the approach introduced in Part I to acid-base chemistry. We shall focus on two cases where the application of stoichiometry leads to great simplifications: strong acids which are essentially 100%...
Handout explaining systematic and random errors, precision versus accuracy, significant figures, absolute and relative error, propagation of errors, measurement distribution, etc.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Thermodynamics; First law of thermodynamics; Chemical equilibrium
Introduction. The purpose of this short discussion is to provide a correct yet understandable introduction to thermodynamics. It is intended to replace and not complement the material in your text. The author is schooled in the Oberlin school of...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Problem solving; Chemical equilibrium
Handout offering information on how to use Mathematica, a computer software program, to numerically solve a system of non-linear equations encountered in the study of chemical equilibrium.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Examinations; Thermodynamics; Molecular structure; Electrons; Chemical reactions
Comprehensive final examination without solutions for Fall 2003, involving two questions based on laboratory experiments and nine questions based on lectures.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance;
Experiment designed to introduce the fundamental principles and practice of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a form of NMR spectroscopy, by obtaining and examining a two-dimensional image of the stem or bud from a plant.
