James A. Ciaccio; Baran Ak; Kareem Hassan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The pharmacologically active lignans sesamin and sesamolin are minor components of sesame oil and ingredients in OTC dietary supplement capsules. We report an introductory undergraduate organic laboratory experiment combining natural product isolation and spectral analysis in which students isolate a mixture of sesamin and sesamolin by either (1)…

Ravera, Mauro; Nucera, Alessandro; Gabano, Elisabetta – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This is an easy and inexpensive laboratory experiment in which undergraduate students at the Bachelor's degree level in Chemistry can measure formation constants of complexes [Ni(en)[subscript n](OH[subscript 2])[subscript 6-2n]][superscript 2]+ (n = 1, 2 or 3; en = ethylenediamine) through an acid-base titration. The background information…

Wallen, Scott L.; Dhau, Jaspreet; Green, Robert; Wemple, Laura B.; Kelly, Troy, Jr.; Collins, Brent – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Over the past decade the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) has changed the general chemistry requirements to include a single introductory course for most engineering majors. There is a focus on outcomes that equip students with the ability to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam and to work in…

Ramesh, Vinay Bapu; Selvam, Athavan Alias Anand; Kulkarni, Surabhi; Manganahalli, Anusha Dattatreya; Bettadapur, Kiran R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
High school students find reaction stoichiometry and the concept of the mole hard to comprehend. Teachers are well aware of the importance of teaching the mole concept and also the difficulty associated with it. In an attempt to improve the understanding of the mole concept with reduced difficulty, an atomic model kit that provides a hands-on…

de Morais, Camilo de L. M.; Silva, Se´rgio R. B.; Vieira, Davi S.; Lima, Ka´ssio M. G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
The binding constant and stoichiometry ratio for the formation of iron(II)-(1,10-phenanthroline) or iron(II)-o-phenanthroline complexes has been determined by a combination of a low-cost analytical method using a smartphone and a molecular modeling method as a laboratory experiment designed for analytical and physical chemistry courses. Intensity…
