SOFTWARE
Many of the software packages used in this course are from the
Journal of Chemical Education Software (JCE-Soft).
Those packages include:
Proton NMR Basics CD-Rom
Proton NMR Basics is a multimedia tutor designed to shorten the time for
student mastery of NMR spectral interpretation. Students can explore the theory,
the instrument, and the spectral analysis of compounds by NMR spectroscopy.
The actual operation of the instrument is shown through digital video, allowing
students to experience the procedure from sample preparation to spectral interpretation.
This program can also be used as an introduction to the basics before using
the instrument.
HPLC for Windows:
A Computer Simulation of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
HPLC for Windows combines emulation of a typical modern binary gradient
HPLC system with sophisticated modeling of reversed-phase column behavior. The
modeling provides realistic chromatographic output for separations implemented
over a broad range of operating conditions. The program is intended as a pedagogic
aid for people who want to learn HPLC theory and practice. As such, it provides
easy, inexpensive access to many of the features of a real instrument without
risk of damage, consumption of supplies, and the need for constant supervision.
It is used as a training exercise prior to hands-on work with the real instrument.
Mass Spec Simulator
Mass Spec Simulator is a simulation of a Varian EM-600 mass spectrometer
(ca. 1979). It shows the two main control panels of the instrument and a screen
for displaying the mass spectrum. The user can adjust all of the commonly used
controls, for example, spectrum amplitude, mass range, and starting mass. There
is also a realistic simulation of sample introduction for both solid and liquid
samples. All controls are operated using a mouse pointing device. The instrument
responds realistically whether or not sample and operating conditions are appropriate.
Actions that would cause incorrect operation are either not allowed with an
explanation or carried through with the result explained in an information box.
Solid State Resources CD-Rom
This package contains QuickTime movies of various experiments. It also
contains a complete copy of Teaching General Chemistry: A Material Science Companion
along with chapter-by-chapter slide shows pertaining to the book.
Illustrated Periodic Table
This package has illustrations of most of the elements in the periodic
table along with extensive descriptions and listings of properties.
Periodic Table CD
This package contains QuickTime movies for the first 100 elements. These
movies show the main uses for the element as well as reactions with air, water,
acids, and bases.
Other software:
CHEMISTRY WORKS
This package shows the Periodic Table. With a mouse each element can
be high-lighted, showing the name. Data for each element can be examined,
including atomic spectra and crystal structure. Data for selected elements
can be plotted. Reports can be generated containing selected data for selected
elements.
This link will allow you to drill in the placement of elements in the
Periodic Table by providing you with a blank table to fill in the chemical
symbols.
