David Whisnant , Deborah Sauder , Theresa Julia Zielinski , Marcy TownsJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (3), 414The Physical Chemistry On Line (PCOL) consortium has developed eight online modules for use in the physical chemistry curriculum. These modules engage faculty and students from geographically dispersed institutions in activities that are short in duration ...
Nonlinear Fitting to Kinetic Equations
Ian J. McNaughtJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (10), 1457Nonlinear Fitting to Kinetic Equations
Ian J. McNaughtJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (10), 1457The advantages of using nonlinear regression when analyzing first-order kinetic data for which the infinite time reading is unreliable or unavailable are discussed. The importance of correctly weighting the data when linearizing equations is emphasized.

Deborah Sauder , Theresa Julia Zielinski , George M. Shalhoub , Roland Stout , Marcy Hamby Towns , George LongJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (6), 841This paper describes a new approach to the traditional iodine gas absorption spectrum experiment often performed in undergraduate physical chemistry labs. The approach is student centered and designed to emphasize the conceptual richness in this classic ...
