Ross Andrew Shalliker; Corey Manwaring – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Performing HPLC-based experiments in the undergraduate practical classroom is difficult because of the time required to perform an analysis. This limits the type of practical to one that undertakes a simple quantitative analysis. However, with the use of sophisticated simulators, such as the one employed in this exercise, more complex experiments…

Vanderveen, Jesse R.; Jessop, Philip G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Selecting less hazardous chemicals is a core tenet of green chemistry but is difficult to teach in practice. The upper-year undergraduate or graduate level exercise described here empowers students to make such decisions themselves. Students are tasked with finding the greenest chemical for a specific purpose described in a hypothetical scenario,…

Zorrilla, David; Sánchez-Márquez, Jesús; García, Víctor; Fernández, Manuel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Teaching and understanding the concepts related to ideal gases and their transformations is relatively uncomplicated. However, for science and engineering students, reaching an understanding of and assimilating the concepts related to real gases and their transformations is a more difficult goal. Backed by their considerable experience teaching…
