JonathanP. Antle; Jerry T. Godbout; Scott Simpson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Students in an upper-level physical chemistry course utilized an open-sourced statistical software package to construct models fitted to experimental pressure-volume data. In the first part of the experiment, students familiarize themselves with model fitting. In the second part of the experiment, students determine which truncated version of the…

Enze Chen; Mark Asta – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
With the growing desire to incorporate data science and informatics into STEM curricula, there is an opportunity to integrate research-based software and tools (e.g., Python) within existing pedagogical methods to craft new, accessible learning experiences. We show how the open-source Jupyter Book software can achieve this goal by creating a…

Audrey G. Fikes; Melissa C. Srougi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The application of chemistry concepts in biological settings plays an important role in the interdisciplinary field of drug discovery and development. This is true for molecular docking, where an understanding of intermolecular forces and noncovalent interactions is useful for rational drug design and development. Here we report the design and use…

David Mainka; Julius Krause; Linus Großmann; Andreas Link; Lukas Schulig – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on analytical techniques for identifying and characterizing drug compounds. In this experiment, undergraduate pharmacy students explored the applications of near-infrared spectroscopy for pharmaceutical analysis and its potential for identifying patterns and relationships among pharmaceutical samples. In…

David Ross Hall; Jessica C. D’eon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry is increasingly data centric and the undergraduate curriculum needs to adjust to keep up. To address this, we created the "Air Quality Activity," a new first-year undergraduate activity where students use Microsoft Excel to analyze a unique subset of atmospheric ozone (O[subscript 3]) and nitrogen dioxide (NO[subscript 2])…

Singhal, Ishu; Balaji, B. S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Learning to write chemical formulas of compounds is a basic and indispensable part of understanding and studying chemistry. However, it is hard for students with visual impairment to assess and learn molecular arrangements and formulas. For the convenience of such students with special needs, it is necessary to come up with easy, comprehensive,…

Cubberley, Mark S.; Hess, William A.; Johnson, Mark B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A recirculating water vacuum pump was constructed from inexpensive materials. The recirculating water vacuum pump has a smaller footprint compared to many commercial models and features a novel, 3D-printed water aspirator pump that also functions with a standard laboratory faucet connection. The performances of both the recirculating water vacuum…

Gianmarc Grazioli; Adam Ingwerson; David Santiago Jr.; Patrick Regan; Heekun Cho – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computational chemistry instructional activities are often based around students running chemical simulations via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI-based activities offer many advantages, as they enable students to run chemical simulations with a few mouse clicks. Although these activities are excellent for introducing students to the…

Metz, Irene K.; Bennett, Joseph W.; Mason, Sara E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While computational chemistry continues to play a growing role in chemical research, issues with access and the timing of when these tools are introduced to chemistry students remain as barriers to wider interest and use. The accessibility of free software for chemical modeling has increased in recent years, promoting the inclusion of…

Carla Morais; Jose´ L. Arau´jo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In the laboratory, data acquisition systems are important, as they allow us to easily and precisely collect data. In this sense, Arduino emerges as an automatic data acquisition device with great potential, due to its low cost and high versatility. In this work, we describe the development of an experimental apparatus, with automatic data…

Weiss, Charles J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Scientific computing and computer literacy are increasingly important skills for chemistry students to learn, but despite this need, there is an absence of chemistry-specific texts available for teaching the subject. This article introduces a freely available textbook released under a Creative Commons license for use in an undergraduate scientific…

Augmented/virtual realities (ARs/VRs) promise to revolutionize STEM education. However, most easy-to-use tools are limited to static visualizations, which limits the approachable content, whereas more interactive and dynamic alternatives require costly hardware, preventing large-scale use and evaluation of pedagogical effects. Here, we introduce…

Esvan, Yannick J.; Zeinyeh, Wael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The Fourier transformation (FT) is a mathematical process frequently encountered by chemistry students. However, it remains an automated background process perceived by many students as difficult to understand. In this paper we present a simple open-source web application, which can help students to understand the basics of the FT applied to…
