The enclosed file is an updated version of a simple cyclic voltammetry (CV) simulator written in Microsoft Excel. The spreadsheet supports up to three chemical species that can undergo up to four redox processes each. The calculations assume that the first process…
This simulated lab activity was developed by Dr. Mark Perri from the Department of Chemistry at Sonoma State University. Use of this activity in a remote learning environment was published in a Journal of Chemical Education Special Issue.
The material is designed for an undergraduate quantitative analysis class and can be used to replace an in-person…

Description: The titrator consists of 13 paper squares separated by hydrophobic wax barriers; the back of the titrator is also hydrophobic. Each square is loaded with…
This simulation provides students with a highly customizable HPLC simulator that can allow them to collect realistic data for many compounds under a wide range of conditions.
The material is designed for the undergraduate instrumental analytical chemistry course level. The activities have been provided in both Spanish and English versions below.
In this fun and colorful experiment, students make their own bath bombs and investigate the effect of temperature on reaction rates.

Abstract: Cosmetic chemistry is a prevalent part of everyday life, but there are very few undergraduate laboratories that explore this topic.…
Students tackle the deceptively simple task of determining the pressure of carbon dioxide gas inside a sealed soft drink can.
By Hans de Grys, Journal of Chemical Education 2007, 84, 7, 1117
Abstract Soft drinks provide a unique way to explore chemical principles. A challenging exercise for students is to determine the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas inside…
This Journal of Chemical Education article (J. Chem. Educ. 2020, 97, 263−264) by Yannick Esvan of Charnwood Molecular Ltd., Nottingham and Wael Zeinyeh of the University of Lyon describes a free web application that explains the Fourier Transform as applied to an NMR signal through the use of a guided tutorial linked to a…
A simulation of gas chromatography analyses using a free web based simulation tool.
Created by Mark Jenson at Concordia College, this site, currently in the ASDL Collection, provides two useful resources for instructors and students of analytical chemistry. The first is a collection of LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs) for demonstrating topics such as signal-to-noise ratios, boxcar and ensemble averaging, power spectra, digital filtering, analog-to-digital conversions, and the Nyquest frequency.…
