Describes an experiment in which possible products of a series of reactions are tabulated together with properties which may be useful in identifying each substance. The student deduces the products and writes a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (GS)

Presents a brief description of a study done to assess the impact of the use of calculators during examination, showing that the use of the instruments did play a major role in chemistry grade determination. (EB)

Describes a revised chemistry sequence, designed for paramedical students, which does not require a high school chemistry prerequisite. The major thrust of the revision is toward the use of biochemically significant substances and phenomena as a framework to describe chemical principles. (GS)

Describes a course designed to provide college juniors and seniors with maximum theoretical and practical exposure to every available analytical instrument. (GS)

Describes an experiment which monitors the population of the lowest triplet state by directly observing phosphorescence intensity as a function of time. Reviews the theory concerning triplet state lifetimes, describes the experimental apparatus and procedure, and presents the method and examples of data analysis. (GS)

Proposes an attack on the world food problem which includes the realization that we can eliminate hunger and starvation, the recognition of food as a world currency, and the recognition of the role of chemistry in the improvement of food production, distribution, and preservation. (GS)

Describes an introductory chemistry course for non-science majors with poor backgrounds in mathematics and English. The course goal was to develop an appreciation of the importance of chemistry to everyday life experiences and to the major area of the student. (GS)

Analyzes the changing employment market for future science graduates and summarizes the four main types of degree courses for which sixth form science graduates will be applying. (GS)

Describes an experiment that involves the preparation of a chromium (III)-EDTA compound, a study of its infrared spectrum, and the potentiometric determination of two successive acid dissociation constants. (Author/GS)

Reports that fewer than half of over one hundred engineering technology curricula surveyed included chemistry as a requirement. Qualitatively describes the content of courses surveyed. Argues for the inclusion of chemistry in all curricula. (GH)

Describes an apparatus that provides continuous flame colorization for the study of the emission spectra of metals. (GS)

This list of Environmental Sciences References Sources is intended to give undergraduate and graduate students a starting point when searching for information in the library. Entries are grouped according to type of reference material and then are listed in alphabetical order. The types of reference material included are guides to dictionaries,…
