The project involves purchase of a voltamograph, differential scanning calorimeter, and a thermogravimetric analyzer. The equipment will be used to update theexperiments in five courses ranging from sophomore level tosenior level and will be used by students for their senior projects. Electrochemical methods will be used to determine thermodynamic parameters such as equilibrium constants and cell potentials; to quantitatively determine the presence of trace amounts of heavy metals, pharmaceutical, and inorganics; to analyze the effect of ligands on the oxidation/reduction potential of a central metal ion; and to study the kinetics of electrochemical reactions to elucidate reaction mechanisms. Thermal methods will be used to study properties of materials including dehydration characteristics, glass transition temperatures, thermal stabilities, heat capacities, enthalpy changes, melting points, and solid phase transitions.

该项目包括购买伏安仪、差示扫描量热仪和热重分析仪。这些设备将被用来更新从大二到大三的五门课程的实验，并将被学生用于他们的高级项目。电化学方法将用于确定热力学参数，如平衡常数和电池电位；定量测定痕量重金属、药物和无机物的存在；分析配体对中心金属离子氧化/还原电位的影响；并对电化学反应动力学进行研究，以阐明反应机理。热方法将用于研究材料的性质，包括脱水特性、玻璃化转变温度、热稳定性、热容、热变、熔点和固相转变。
