Description

Students carry out and interpret experiments that use a UV/VIS spectrometer to monitor the bleaching of dye. Includes instruction on Beer’s law and analysis of kinetic traces.

Resource Type	Tutorial ChemCollective tutorials walk students through solving chemistry problems movies, text, and interactive tutors. Because the hints given by these tutors ultimately provide the solution to the problem, they are similar to worked examples in a textbook. Currently, we have tutorials covering concepts in stoichiometry, buffers, and equilibrium.
