Interactive Computer Models for Analytical Chemistry Instruction

This is a collection of free, downloadable, interactive computer models and simulations of common analytical instruments and techniques. Most have a point-and-click interface; you click buttons and drag sliders to control variables and the model responds dynamically, often much faster than real time. I originally designed these models for students in my courses in Instrumental Analysis (an upper-division undergraduate laboratory course) and Spectrochemical Methods (a graduate lecture course). They were designed to be used by individual students either as homework assignments, for in-class use in a computer lab environment, in the laboratory for the analysis of student-generated data, or as a temporary replacement for unavailable laboratory equipment. They can also be used by the instructor in lecture-demonstration environments. Student-assignment handouts and suggested experiments are included for most of them. The mathematical basis for each model is described, including all cell definitions and equations. These spreadsheets make extensive use of named cells (variables), which makes the equations easier to understand (as compared to the standard spreadsheet row-colunm references). Instructors are able to and are invited to modify these spreadsheets in any way for their students.
