Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Solution (Chemistry); Volumetric Analysis
Experiment in which the objective is to apply the methods of volumetric analysis to the determination of the percentage of potassium hydrogen phthalate in a sample, the molecular weight and ionization constant of an unknown weak acid, and the...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance
Experiment previously used in the course and focused on selective irradiation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), specifically involving homonuclear decoupling and the NOE (nuclear Overhauser enhancement) difference experiment.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance
Experiment previously used in the course that involves an introduction to multiple-pulse NMR techniques which yield values of the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation times.
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; 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; Handouts; Chemical kinetics; Chemical reactions; Solution (Chemistry)
Experiment with the objective of determining the rate law for the reaction between the dichromate ion and the acetaldehyde molecule in a dilute solution of nitric acid.
Homepage for Chemistry 106, Environmental Chemistry. The course provides an examination of environmental systems such as the atmosphere and the oceans from a molecular perspective and will critically examine chemical sources of environmental...
