Improvement of UV-Visible Spectroscopy at Roanoke College

该项目将大大提高本科化学 课程在罗阿诺克学院通过纳入国家的最先进的紫外线- 将可见光谱学引入到物理化学的实验室课程中， 仪器分析和生物化学。 电脑控制的紫外线- 为该项目购置的可见光分光光度计能够 以前没有提供给学生在罗阿诺克学院：确定 作为时间的函数的吸光度，在各种温度下测量光谱， 温度，并获得具有非常高分辨率的光谱。 电流 实验将大大改善，新的实验将 添加到课程中。 例子包括对Co（II）的研究 平衡系统，由平衡系统确定热力学函数 光谱数据和酶动力学研究。 项目 将让罗阿诺克学院的学生体验现代科技 紫外-可见光谱学。

This project will enhance significantly the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at Roanoke College by incorporating state-of-the-art UV- visible spectroscopy into laboratory courses in physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, and biochemistry. The computer-controlled UV- visible spectrophotometer acquired for this project affords capabilities not previously available to students at Roanoke College: determining absorbance as a function of time, measuring spectra at various temperatures, and obtaining spectra with very high resolution. Current experiments will be improved substantially, and new experiments will be added to the curriculum. Examples include a study of a Co (II) equilibrium system, determination of thermodynamic functions from spectroscopic data, and investigations of enzyme kinetics. The project will give students at Roanoke College experience with modern technology in UV-visible spectroscopy.
