The spring 2008 version of the course syllabus for Chemistry 164, molecular structure and modeling, listing information on the instructor, texts, graded exercises and tentative schedule.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Molecular structure; Molecules-Models
This index for the Molecular Zoo provides for selected organic molecules results from experimental and modeling methods. These instrumental and computational methods produce detailed three-dimensional, gas-phase structures; the results enable a...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Chemical kinetics; Chemical reactions
Exercise dealing with rate laws and mechanisms, using a special computer program to simulate an experiment. The exercise focuses on the experimental design and an analysis of the results.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Absorption spectra; Solution (Chemistry); Spectroscopy, Atomic absorption
Experiment consisting of preparing a series of standard solutions containing iron and solutions of metallic alloy samples, then measuring the absorption of light by the atoms of the element when the solutions are aspirated into a flame.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Gas chromatography; Mass spectrometry
Experiment involving the isolation, concentration, separation and identification of the volatile components of a foodstuff (via headspace analysis, capillary gas chromatography, and mass spectra measurements).
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Voltammetry; Electrochemistry; Solution (Chemistry)
Experiment with the goal of gaining an understanding of anodic stripping voltammetry and an understanding of the factors involved in performing quantitative analytical determinations, through the determinations of amounts of copper.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Solution (Chemistry); High performance liquid chromatography
Experiment with purpose of quantifying the caffeine content of a diet cola sample using high performance liquid chromatography. The separation of components in diet soft drinks is also involved.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Molecular spectroscopy; Thermodynamics; Gases
Experiment previously used in the course, meant to introduce the student to molecular spectroscopy and to the molecular parameters and thermodynamic properties which can be obtained by analyzing the vibration-rotation spectrum of gaseous hydrogen...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Molecules-Models; Molecular structure; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance; Isomerism
Exercise in which the task is to use a molecular mechanics module to validate the claims of a study of the vibrational spectroscopy of N-acetyl-S-tryptophane methyl amide.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Molecules-Models
Experiment in which the task is to develop a teaching module that employs molecular modeling to validate a claim made in a course or to illustrate a principle.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Molecular structure; Molecules-Models; Isomerism
This is the Molecular Zoo entry for the anti conformer acrolein and therefore describes the detailed three-dimensional, gas-phase structure of acrolein produced by instrumental and computational methods. It also offers a critical comparison of...
