An online text on the basics of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The text contains information especially appropriate for the novice, but topics are treated at sufficient depth to be useful for […]
Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (Q-NMR) measurements are especially useful for analysis of complex samples where high specificity is needed or when a pure standard of the analyte is not available. Often the […]
This module provides an introduction to Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES). AES is a broad area that includes several analytical chemistry techniques focused on elemental analysis, the identification, quantification, and (sometimes) speciation of […]
[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]This module provides an introduction to X-ray Diffraction (XRD). XRD is a versatile, non-destructive technique that reveals detailed information about the chemical composition and crystallographic structure of materials. It is utilized in a variety of […]
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 […]
Introduction A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop fundamental aspects of electrochemistry and electrochemical methods of analysis. These activities are intended to be done in class by students […]
