CHEM 233: Grading rubric for lab reports.
Instruction for using the FT-IR ATR accessory.
An excel graph of cyclohexane a-values vs. percent equatorial conformation.
A pdf version of the excel graph above.
Biodiesel 1: A CASPiE Module.
Biodiesel 2: A CASPiE Module
Cu-catalyzed diazocoupling. Adaptation of the Biodiesel 2 module to a single experiment in CHEM 233.
Ni-catalyzed hydrogenation. Adaptation of the Biodiesel 2 module to a single experiment in CHEM 233.
Infrared spectra for both enantiomers of carvone and limonene. Students may compare these spectra to their own in order to confirm the isolation of carvone from caraway seeds by steam distillation.
Data page for lab 9.
Data page for lab 10.
Table of pKa values for common organic compounds in H2O and DMSO with references.
Instructions for submitting an exam or quiz for review if grading errors are suspected.
CHEM 233 final exam information including time, location, conflict resolution, policies, lab notebook due date and practical exam reminders.
Diagram displaying the construction of a packed column. Also includes information about column types, solid adsorbents and liquid stationary phases.
Operating instructions for the GOW Mac 350 gas chromatograph. These can also be used for operating the Carlyle GC 8700s.
Energy profile diagram comparing chlorination versus bromination of alkanes. Chemoselectivity is explained in term of Hammonds postulate as well as statistical factors.
Introduction to infrafred spectroscopy. Covered during the first week of class.
Operating instructions for the Mattson Genesis II infrared spectrometer.
Instructions for operating the Mattson Genesis FT-IR in room 3223B.
Instructions with pictures for preparing a KBr pellet that is used to suspend solid samples for infrared spectroscopy.
This is the revised procedure for Lab 9 in which the diazo coupling reaction is performed at reflux. Purgin with nitrogen gas is eliminated in this procedure. This procedure replaces that found in the course manual.
