Utilization of Atomic Absorption Spectrometer in an Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

9450885请Al-Saigh基金购买一台最先进的原子吸收光谱仪，供哥伦布学院化学本科教学使用。几个球场将受到拟议设备的影响。该仪器旨在提高教学质量，并使学生了解现代计算机辅助设备的理论背景和（实验）操作。AA将被纳入普通化学、仪器分析、定量分析、物理化学、生物化学、无机化学的课程，以及本科化学研究。学生将能够使用一种强大的分析技术来量化各种元素，如水和废水中的铅、溶液中的钙、头发中的锌、宠物食品中的锰和铁、钢中的锰以及食物、血液、血清和软饮料中的铅。此外，学生将测定水和废物中的有毒金属，如Ba、Cd、Cr、Pb、Se和Ag。学生将体会到将计算机与该仪器相连接的用途和好处，以及它对量化的影响。

9450885 Al-Saigh Funds are requested for purchasing a state-of-the-art Atomic Absorption Spectrometer to be used for undergraduate instruction in chemistry at Columbus College. Several courses will be affected by the proposed equipment. This instrument is intended to enhance the quality of instruction and to expose students to both the theoretical background and the (experimental) operation of modern computer-assisted equipment. The AA will be incorporated in the curriculum of General Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, Quantitative Analysis, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and in undergraduate research in Chemistry. Students will be able to use a powerful analytical technique to quantify a variety of elements such as lead in water and waste water, calcium in solutions, zinc in hair, manganese and iron in pet food, manganese in steel, and lead in food, blood, serum, and soft drinks. In addition, students will determine toxic metals such as Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb, Se, and Ag in water and wastes. Students will appreciate the utilization and benefits of interfacing a computer with this instrument and the effect it has on quantification.
