Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy in the Analytical and Physical Chemistry Laboratories

原子分析在分析化学中具有十分重要的意义.在现有技术中，电感耦合等离子体（ICP）光谱由于其广泛的适用性而成为最广泛的技术。亨特化学专业的学生目前没有机会在本科实验室使用ICP设备。这项建议的目的是给亨特学生的机会。我们的计划是引入实验，这将允许学生扩展使用最先进的ICP光谱仪与最先进的数据收集能力。学习物理化学的学生将有机会深入研究温度的概念，这是科学中最基本的概念之一。除了使用现代仪器外，他们还将能够利用目前以计算机为基础的数据简化方法。分析化学课程的学生将学习基于ICP的分析的能力和局限性，并能够将ICP方法与其他方法进行比较。他们在分析方法和现代设备方面的经验将得到极大的扩展。 光谱学是化学的一个主要领域，原子光谱数据是监管和公共卫生决策的重要组成部分。通过在项目中开发的材料将导致学生谁拥有现代化学更现实的想法，谁是更好地准备研究生培训或可用的工作在化学。那些继续教书的人将能够更好地向学生传达化学对他们生活的影响。

Atomic analysis is of very great importance in analytical chemistry. Of the available techniques, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy has become the most widespread due to its wide applicability. Chemistry students at Hunter do not at present have the opportunity to use ICP equipment in their undergraduate labs. The objective of this proposal is to give Hunter students that opportunity. Our plan is to introduce experiments which will allow students extended use of a state-of-the-art ICP spectrometer with the most advanced data collection capability. Students studying Physical Chemistry will have the opportunity to investigate the idea of temperature, one of the most fundamental concepts in science, in some depth. In addition to using modern instrumentation, they will be able to make use of current computer-based data reduction methods. Students in Analytical Chemistry courses will learn the capabilities and limitations of ICP-based analyses and be able to compare ICP methods to others. Their experience of analytical methodologies and modern equipment will be substantially extended. Spectroscopy is a major area of chemistry, and atomic spectroscopic data are important components of regulatory and public health decisions. Adoption of the materials developed in the project will result in students who have a more realistic idea of modern chemistry, and who are better prepared for graduate training or available jobs in chemistry. Those who go on to teach will be better able to convey to their students the impact of chemistry on their lives.
