A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the field of separation science, with a particular emphasis on chromatographic separations, is provided. These activities are intended to be done […]
a. Basic chromatographic concepts
Students explore basic aspects of chromatographic separations including concepts such as number of theoretical plates, separation factor, retention factor and resolution. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.
Introduction This learning module provides an interactive introduction to chromatography with an emphasis on understanding basic chromatographic terms and measurements, and on understanding the factors that affect the quality of a separation. […]
Students will learn to:
Calculate the resolution of 2 peaks in a chromatographic experiment.
Use chromatographic data in a quantitative analysis.
Students explore various concepts related to resolution in chromatographic methods.
Students explore Fick’s first and second laws of diffusion in this activity.
Introduction These assignments are designed to be capstone activities at the end of units on figures of merit (such as sensitivity and LOD), acid-base equilibria, separations, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry. Each […]
