Modern UV/Visible Spectroscopy for Improvement of Freshman- Sophomore Chemistry Instruction

通过购买一个新的二极管阵列紫外/可见光（UV/维斯）分光光度计与计算机接口，这个项目是整合的概念，实践和紫外/维斯光谱学的专业用途到2年的课程。 在普通化学课程中，该仪器被用作学习定量分析和鉴定基础知识的工具，并为独立实验室项目提供更多选择。 在有机化学水平的学生正在利用他们的有机实验室项目的仪器分析组件增加的选项。 该项目还向非理科学生介绍现代仪器，展示其在动手解决问题方面的用途。 在各个层面上，正在设计使用UV/维斯分光光度计的实验，以清楚地说明仪器方法，应用和局限性。 *

Through the purchase of a new diode-array ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS) spectrophotometer with computer interface, this project is integrating the concepts, practice, and specialized uses of UV/VIS spectroscopy into the 2-year curriculum. In the general chemistry course, the instrument is being used as a tool for learning the fundamentals of quantitative analysis and identification and is allowing for more choices for independent laboratory projects. Students at the organic chemistry level are taking advantage of the increased options for the instrumental analysis components of their organic laboratory projects. The project is also introducing non-science-students to modern instrumentation by demonstrating its uses in a hands-on, problem-solving context. At all levels, experiments are being devised that use the UV/VIS spectrophotometer to clearly illustrate instrumental methods, applications, and limitations. *
