Introduction of Electrochemical Instrumentation into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum.

化学系正在购买一种电化学 分析仪用于新生化学，仪器分析， 物理化学课程。化学系学生 正在使用该仪器来测量 络合时金属离子的电势。高中学生 一级课程是研究循环伏安法的各个方面， 阳极和阴极溶出伏安法，计时库仑法， 方波伏安法和差分脉冲伏安法。 仪器也被用于本科生独立 氧化还原反应机理的研究项目 有机化合物，稳定常数的测定，以及 测定环境中的痕量金属。新的 仪器将提供给高级化学和 生物化学专业的学生在他们的独立研究中使用 项目 所要求的设备也将纳入 该学院的年度暑期化学课程， 35-40名高中生参加。

The Chemistry Department is purchasing an eletrochemical analyzer for use in freshman chemistry, instrumental analysis, and physical chemistry courses. Students in freshamn chemistry are using the instrument to measure changes in the reduction potential of metal ions upon complexation. Students in upper level courses are investigating aspects of cyclic voltammetry, anodic and cathodic stripping voltammetry, chronocoulometry, square-wave voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry.The instrument is also being used for undergradauate independent research projects in the mechanisms of redox reactions of organic compounds, determinations of stability constants, and determination of trace metals in the environment.The new instrumentation will be made available to senior chemistry and biochemistry majors for use in their independent study research projects. The requested equipment will also be integrated into the college's annual summer program in chemistry which is attended by 35-40 advanced high school students.
