The Nicolet Impact 410 Infrared Spectrometer (IR) was purchased in the 1996-1997 academic year. This analytical tool uses infrared light to probe the functional groups in molecules and is capable of analyzing solid and liquid samples. Students in the organic course use the IR to study cyclohexanone that they prepared by oxidizing cyclohexanol. The IR is also used by students in the spectroscopy course and those involved in research to aid in the identification of compounds. |
