Take A Break

For all the sad and depressed would-be analytical chemists, here is an entertaining look at the electromagnetic spectrum. There are a lot of weird things making waves out there...

pH Indicators

For no particular reason, I have surmised that it is good for all alchemical scholars to understand one of the key concepts in analytical alchemy – the use of coloured indicators to determine the endpoint of a neutralisation reaction.

A wonderful link can be found HERE.

Remember, not all indicators change colour at the equivalence point. And that link will show you the truth in false but reasonable true colours. Haha.

Infrared Spectroscopy

This is an excellent site for examining IR spectra. It is especially good because it shows molecular models and animates the vibrations that give rise to specific absorptions. You will need to download the CHIME plug-in.

Thanks to CKW for providing the URL.
