Reviews simple uses of computers in helping students understand basic processes in theoretical and microscopic chemistry. Presents example of a computer program which evaluates the radical part of any hydrogenlike wavefunction. (PR)

Describes a set of computer-assisted, introductory chemistry modules that can be transported from one computer system to another. Each module consists of one or more computer programs, a student manual, and a teacher's guide. (MLH)

Describes chemistry games included in the PLATO computer-generated graphics system developed at the University of Illinois to give students problem solving practice. (SL)

Reviews software on: gas laws for IBM (disk available-SERAPHIM); gas chromatographic separation simulation for TRS-80 (listing available from author); vapor pressure data display with theoretical fit for Apple (author will copy on your disk); and second virial coefficients of nonpolar gases using the Kihara potential for TI-59 calculators. (JM)

Describes a computer program that generates a random string of amino acids and guides the student in determining the correct sequence of a given protein by using experimental analytic data for that protein. (MLH)

Strategies for incorporating a calculator made within FORTRAN programs and a Response Analysis Scheme during interactive sessions are described highlighting salient features of the programs. (Author/SK)

Discusses a computer program that has been used in environmental chemistry courses as an example of modelling as a vehicle for teaching chemical dynamics, and as a demonstration of some of the factors which affect the production of smog. (Author/GS)

Describes the application of a computer program designed to produce a formula determination simultaneously accounting for both elemental composition and probable isotopic species for a measured ion mass. (SLH)

Describes a BASIC computer program which balances inorganic chemical equations. (SL)

Describes a computerized experiment in which the student determines the pk of an acid-base indicator from absorption spectra of the indicator at various concentrations. (MLH)

Following a discussion of how computers are used to solve chemical problems, offers suggestions for avoiding common problems, reviews successful applications and languages (BASIC and FORTRAN), speculates on future trends, and discusses why chemists need to know about computers. (SK)

Describes an experiment in which general and physical chemistry students can determine the heat of vaporization of a volatile substance from experimental laboratory data using timesharing techniques. (MLH)
