Demonstrating the Antioxidative Capacity of Substances with Lightsticks
Robert R. Wieczorek and Katrin SommerJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (4), 468-469Demonstrating the Antioxidative Capacity of Substances with Lightsticks
Robert R. Wieczorek and Katrin SommerJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (4), 468-469The antioxidative capacity of phytochemical compounds is often discussed in life science courses (to prevent or slow cancer) and food science courses (to prevent the oxidation of sensitive ingredients). Thus, we developed a laboratory experiment where the ...

Jonathan P. Blitz , Daniel J. Sheeran and Thomas L. Becker , Neil D. DanielsonJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 758A multichannel CCD-array spectrophotometer and handheld UV lamp are utilized to acquire and project in real-time the fluorescence emission spectra of quinine, fluorescein, eosin yellow, and rhodamine B. Instrumental concepts of fluorescence are ...

Using Guided Inquiry to Study Optical Activity and Optical Rotatory Dispersion in a Cross-Disciplinary Chemistry Lab
Michael A. Vaksman and James W. LaneJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (11), 1507Using Guided Inquiry to Study Optical Activity and Optical Rotatory Dispersion in a Cross-Disciplinary Chemistry Lab
Michael A. Vaksman and James W. LaneJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (11), 1507We propose a new lab for the determination of the optical activity and optical rotatory dispersion of a compound. First our students determine the optical activity of S-(+)-carvone using the standard polarimeter (λ = 589 nm) . Then they are given a He-Ne ...

Displacement of the Benzene Solvent Molecule from Cr(CO)5(benzene) by Piperidine: A Laser Flash Photolysis Experiment
Ashfaq A. Bengali and Samantha B. CharltonJournal of Chemical Education2000 77 (10), 1348Displacement of the Benzene Solvent Molecule from Cr(CO)5(benzene) by Piperidine: A Laser Flash Photolysis Experiment
Ashfaq A. Bengali and Samantha B. CharltonJournal of Chemical Education2000 77 (10), 1348This laboratory experiment utilizes a nitrogen laser to investigate the chemistry of the Cr(CO)5(benzene) complex on the microsecond time scale. The unique capabilities of a laser and the chemistry made possible by its use is demonstrated. The Cr(CO)5(...
