An experimental procedure is described for studying oxygen uptake by a transition metal. This procedure is designed for use with undergraduates and may be used in organic or biochemistry laboratories. Diagrams of the apparatus are included. (MR)

The experiment described here involves simultaneous monitoring of pH and NMR chemical shifts during an aqueous titration of alpha- and beta-alanine. This experiment is designed for use in an undergraduate biochemistry course. (MR)

Two experiments are described and appropriate discussion is given to illustrate the use of substoichiometry and saturation analysis techniques with undergraduates. The first experiment is the determination of silver content in photographic film. The second is the estimation of a hormone concentration using saturation analysis and a commercially…
