Dartmouth College: Chem Lab: Natural Salt Solutions 1: Ion Exchange
In this experiment, you will concentrate on understanding the chemistry of ion exchange and estimate the capacity of an ion exchange column from your observations.
Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College: Acids, Bases, and Buffers 1: Monoprotic and Polyprotic Acids
In this experiment, you will explore the behavior of the monoprotic acid (acetic acid) and the polyprotic acid (phosphoric acid). By titrating, you will examine the acid and conjugate base species present across the pH scale and the...

Dartmouth College: Chem Lab: Coordination Chemistry 1: Synthesis
In this four-week experiment, you will synthesize a compound and purify it in week 1. In week 2, you will assay it for purity by colorimetric analysis and by gravimetric analysis. In week 3, you will analyze your compound by titration of...
Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College: Chem Lab: Coordination Chemistry 3.2
In this experiment, you will study the reaction between your cobalt complex and the nitrite ion. The nitrite ion can exchange with a water ligand and the mechanism of this ligand exchange will be investigated. Requires Java plug-in.
Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College: Chem Lab: Coordination Chemistry: Kinetics of Ligand Exchange
In this experiment, you will complete the study of the mechanism of ligand exchange. The reaction will be followed colorimetrically and the rates of exchange and ligand isomerization will be measured. Requires Java plug-in.
Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College: Chem Lab: Coordination Chemistry 3.1: Acid/base Analysis
In this experiment, you will examine the acidity of your coordination complex's water ligand. You will determine the acid dissociation constant of the complex by titrating it with a base. There are eight weeks of experiments in this series.
