Data Analysis

Textual Material
This project provides students with a guided introduction to several topics of importance to the analysis of data; these are the: uncertainty inherent in measurements and how that uncertainty affects results importance of examining data visually before trying to characterize it quantitatively comparison of two data sets to determine if they provide different results modeling of…

Quality Control Analysis for a Local Brewery

Laboratory Activities
A laboratory project for instrumental analysis with the theme of quality control for a local microbrewery is described. The analyses of important flavor and aroma compounds can be easily modified to work with a variety of instruments and wet chemical techniques. Learning objectives, an instructor’s manual, project calendar, assignments, and grading rubrics are provided. The instructor’s…

Chemical Equilibrium

00. Complete Active Learning Units with Supporting Text, a. Acid-base titrations, a. General equilibrium concepts, b. Acid-base equilibria, c. Complexation equilibria, d. Solubility equilibria, In Class Activities, Textual Material
A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop chemical equilibrium, including acid-base chemistry, formation of water-soluble complexes, and solubility are provided. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use as out-of-class exercises. Learning objectives, an instructor’s manual, and out-of-class problems are…

Signals and Noise

Textual Material
This e-module provides an introduction to the analytical chemist on the following topics: The significance of signal and noise in chemical measurements The origin of noise in chemical measurements How noise degrades useful chemical information The statistical treatment of noise and the definition of a signal-to-noise ratio Methods used to improve the reliability of chemical measurements…

Acid Mine Drainage Project Lab

Laboratory Activities
Introduction This laboratory project uses the context of Acid Mine Drainage to teach concepts important to analytical chemistry and quantitative analysis. Students set up experiments that mimic the process of metal sulfide mineral oxidative dissolution. The experiments explore how the rate of dissolution changes with respect to changes in pH, added oxidizing agents, and oxygen rich…

Molecular and Atomic Spectroscopy

00. Complete Active Learning Units with Supporting Text, a. Basic spectroscopic concepts, b. Beer's Law, c. UV/Vis, d. Infrared, e. Fluorescence/Luminescence, f. Raman, h. Atomic Spectroscopy, In Class Activities, Textual Material
A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the areas of molecular and atomic spectroscopy is provided. Chapters on basics of spectrophotometry, ultraviolet/visible absorption, molecular fluorescence, infrared, Raman and atomic spectroscopy are included. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use…

Lasers

Textual Material
This module discusses basic concepts related to Lasers. Lasers are light sources that produce electromagnetic radiation through the process of stimulated emission. Laser light has properties different from more common light sources, such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps. Typically, laser radiation spans a small range of wavelengths and is emitted in a beam that is…
