Chemical Training Series

A collection of four training programs for use by both beginning students and professionals wishing to brush up on their skills. The programs allow the student to design a problem to be solved and then present a step-by-step solution, providing a reinforcement of the proper methods for that calculation. A wealth of options provides for a nearly endless supply of problems.

Organic Chemistry

Select a Question Type: 13180b.gif (3302 bytes)
Choose what groups you want to work with: 13180c.gif (6870 bytes)
Indexed, context sensitive help is available and contains a full set of hypertext student notes, covering all the included functional groups. It is printable and annotatable, and can be easily cut, copied and pasted to other applications. Also contains a glossary of organic chemistry terms, from Acetate ion to ZSM-5. Drop down box contains functional groups and reagents for over two hundred organic substances depending on the question type chosen.

Volumetric Analysis

13180d.gif (53387 bytes)

A four step method is presented for solving titration problems. Also provided are equipment images and a glossary of volumetric analysis terms. Titrations include acid-base and redox (oxidant-reductant) type.

The Solution Window: 13180e.gif (9371 bytes)

Editable data boxes allow you to enter your own values, to solve titration problems from other sources or, from your own laboratory work. Select reactants and set which is the standard solution.

pH and Ttration Curves

Options and context sensitive help allow you to show or hide the answer, use assumptions for weak acids and bases, or round answer. Included is a glossary of pH terms.

The titration curves application:

This powerful application allows you to customize a titration plot, editing the title, labels, colors, grids, etc. You can also change concentrations, pKa, volumes, etc. The plot can be easily cut, copied and pasted to other applications, or printed. Add acid or base to make the pH go up or down as the titration proceeds. Randomly generate problems or make up your own. Open the solution window for a detailed explanation of the answer.

Editable Boxes contain lots of acids, bases and buffers and are editable so you are not restricted to the acids, bases and buffers supplied by the pH program. You can also enter concentrations, pKa, pKb values and acid-conjugate base ratios and generate solutions to problems from other sources.

Electrochemical Cells

13180i.gif (45036 bytes)

Context sensitive help provides tool tips and assistance in balancing redox equations, oxidation numbers, standard electrode potentials, and a glossary of electrochemical cells and redox terms. Show equations for the half cells or the overall equation. Interactively build an electrochemical cell: select an element, choose a half cell and drag-drop the electrode into place. Over 700 different electrochemical cells can be built or randomly generate a cell. Show electron flow, cell voltage, and positive and negative electrodes.

All programs require a 80386 or better computer running Windows 3.11 or later and 2 MB RAM.
