Amend, John R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1971
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemistry, College Science, Educational Media

Heilbronner, Edgar – Journal of Chemical Education, 1979
Discusses the determination of the position of the absorption maximum in wide bands as well as the confidence limits for such calculations. A simple method, suited for pocket calculators, for the numerical evaluation of these calculations is presented. (BB)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computation, Higher Education

Billmeyer, Fred W., Jr. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1974
Describes an experiment designed to familiarize students with the operation of a precision spectrophotometer, the effects of changes in operating variables, and the characteristics of such components as sources and detectors. (SLH)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Instructional Materials

McKone, Harold T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1977
Presents an experiment involving the identification of FD&C dyes by visible spectroscopy. (SL)

Bell, Harold M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1974
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)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction

Fillmore, James A.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1978
A computer program which simulates an interstellar gas and dust cloud has been used to study Kirchhoff's laws of spectral analysis in introductory astronomy courses. The model parameters can be varied to stimulate various effects observed in actual clouds. Students are given exercises to use the program in a manner similar to a lab experiment.…
