CH 4603: Undergraduate Research

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.

Unraveling HNO? Titration: Calculating [H?] Halfway with KOH. Harness the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH determination. Discover the pH at midpoint between weak acid and strong base titration.

Learn how to create Lewis structures for various molecules and assign charges where needed. Understand the molecular connectivity and electron distribution.

Learn how to determine the weight of white gas carried by a backpacker using its density. A valuable skill for hikers and campers.

In this tutorial, we break down the principle of density, illustrating it as a measure of mass per unit volume. Using an osmium cube as a practical example, we walk viewers through the steps of computing its density, demonstrating the interplay between mass, volume, and particle arrangement.

Discover the importance of calculating percent error to assess the precision of experiments. Through real-world examples like measuring alcohol's density and the mass of gold, learn how this value offers insights into measurement accuracy and ways to refine methods.
