Abstract
This article describes a simple, inexpensive, and rapid method for generating a mixture of DCl and HCl. We include infrared vibrational-rotational spectroscopy of gaseous hydrogen chloride and its deuterium counterpart in our physical chemisrty laboratory.

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Preview of Coming Attractions: Teaching Chemistry with Instrumental Methods at Two-Year Colleges
David R. Brown, Michelle BusheyJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 570-571Infrared Spectroscopy as a Preview of Coming Attractions: Teaching Chemistry with Instrumental Methods at Two-Year Colleges
David R. Brown, Michelle BusheyJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 570-571Two-year colleges (2YCs) provide a significant amount of chemical education to undergraduates in the United States. By design, the charge of the 2YCs is to provide coursework at the lower-division level. Nonetheless, general chemistry courses in 2YCs can ...

A Safe and Efficient Technique for the Production of HCl/DCl Gas
Steven G. Mayer , Raymond R. Bard and Kevin CantrellJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 847A Safe and Efficient Technique for the Production of HCl/DCl Gas
Steven G. Mayer , Raymond R. Bard and Kevin CantrellJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 847We present a safe and efficient technique to generate HCl/DCl gas for use in the classic physical chemistry experiment that introduces students to ro-vibrational spectroscopy. The reaction involves thionyl chloride and a mixture of water and deuterium ...

Safe Preparation of HCl and DCl for IR Spectroscopy

William R. Furlong and W. Tandy GrubbsJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (1), 124The widely used method of synthesizing HCl and DCl gases for infrared analysis by hydrolysis of benzoyl chloride includes a potentially dangerous final step whereby the frozen product is allowed to heat and expand into an infrared gas cell. The subsequent ...

Alan R. Ford , William A. Burns and Scott W. ReeveJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (6), 865A modification to the classic FTIR diatomic gas experiment performed in the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory is described. A "real-world" sample source in the form of cigarette smoke has been incorporated and students are asked to identify the ...
