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 […]
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 […]
Introduction This guided research project explores the chemistry and impact of phosphorous on a fresh water system of lakes connected by a river in south-central Wisconsin. Students begin this project by comparing […]
An instructor’s manual, including learning objectives, for a set of semester-long chromatography projects that are undertaken by students working in small groups is provided. Information about the proposal that students complete before […]
A lab activity involving the analysis of BOD, phosphate and nitrate in local water. Kyle Cissell, San Francisco State University (kacissel@sfsu.edu)
A lab activity involving the comparison of two spectrophotometric methods for the analysis of phosphate. Kyle Cissell, San Francisco State University (kacissel@sfsu.edu)
After completing the lab activity, students will be able to: Design an effective sampling strategy of solids by considering the necessary aspects of matrix and analyte (e.g. population vs. sample, phase of […]
After completing this laboratory activity, students will be able to: Design and execute statistically relevant experiments for measuring a suite of chemicals from treated plants; Collect, analyze, and interpret qualitative and quantitative […]
An instructor’s guide to implementing a modular theme-based approach to the advanced analytical chemistry laboratory is provided. The guide provides information on student learning objectives, group dynamics, and grading, and provides examples […]
