Abstract

Infrared spectroscopic analysis of urinary stones is presented as a laboratory experiment for undergraduate students studying life sciences. Infrared spectroscopy, usually combined with the observation of macroscopic and microscopic features, is the preferred tool for unequivocal determination of renal stones composition. In this paper we represent and discuss the IR spectra of some of the most common types of urinary calculi occurring in humans and domestic animals.

  Abstract:
  The idea of hard and Soft Acids and Bases (HSAB), developed by R. G. Pearson some 30 years ago, has been used as a unifying principle in several texts. In spite of this, HSAB has remained qualitative and largely intuitive. In this article, the behaviour ...

  Abstract:
  An oxidation experiment for a first-year organic chemistry class is presented. This oxidation utilizes a solid mixture of CuSO₄•5H₂O and KMnO₄ prepared by mortar and pestle. The oxidations take place under solvent-free conditions and near quantitative ...

  Abstract:
  Polymer-supported reactions have recently been shown to provide an important alternative approach to preparing organic compounds. Whereas traditional solution-phase syntheses can involve lengthy workup procedures leading to the isolation of organic ...
