Solubility Equilibria

Students examine solubility equilibria including the influence of pH and complexation of the metal species on solubility. A text that accompanies the worksheet and explains the answers to the questions is also available.

Atomic Spectroscopy

Students explore basic aspects of atomic spectroscopy including absorption and emission. Flame and graphite furnace AA are covered. ICP emission spectroscopy is covered. The importance of matrix effects is developed. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy

Students explore basic aspects of luminescence spectroscopy including energy level diagrams and the processes of fluorescence and phosphorescence. Processes that result in fluorescence quenching are also covered. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

Infrared Spectroscopy

Students explore basic aspects of infrared spectroscopy including the operation of an FT-IR. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

UV/VIS Spectroscopy

Students explore basic aspects of UV/Vis spectroscopy including effects of conjugation, non-bonding electrons and solvent on the observed spectrum. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.
