Bonjour, Jessica L.; Pitzer, Joy M.; Frost, John A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
Mole to gram conversions, density, and percent composition are fundamental concepts in first year chemistry at the high school or undergraduate level; however, students often find it difficult to engage with these concepts. We present a simple laboratory experiment utilizing portable nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to determine the…
