Abstract

A laboratory exercise in which quantitative FTIR spectroscopy is used to determine the surface coverage of an adsorbate, bromobenzene, on silica surfaces is presented. This single experiment exposes students to several topics not typically covered in depth at the undergraduate level: an introduction to surfaces, surface chemistry, and surface analysis, and the use of FTIR for quantitative analysis.
