Analyzing The Kinetics Of A Bromophenol Blue Fading Reaction In Basic Conditions For An Undergraduate Lab, Zeljka Popovic Apr 2017

Analyzing The Kinetics Of A Bromophenol Blue Fading Reaction In Basic Conditions For An Undergraduate Lab, Zeljka Popovic

Georgia College Student Research Events

Bromophenol blue is a common pH indicator and dye used in many different industries. Once a solution of bromophenol blue is placed in a concentrated basic solution, the color fades from a blue/violet color to clear solution with a pH of 4.6 or greater. The rate law of the reaction is analyzed through the use of a small footprint visible-near-infrared spectrometer (Vis-NIR) with a diode array detector. An absorbance wavelength of 590 nm as a function of time was collected using Ocean Optics OceanView software. The results contained in the data collection file are exported to a spreadsheet for further …


Theoretical Study Of Ozone Forming Recombination Reaction And Anomalous Isotope Effect Associated With It, Alexander Teplukhin Apr 2017

Theoretical Study Of Ozone Forming Recombination Reaction And Anomalous Isotope Effect Associated With It, Alexander Teplukhin

Dissertations (1934 -)

The ozone forming recombination reaction stands out among many chemical processes that take place in the atmosphere. This reaction is responsible for the reconstruction of ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultra-violate radiation and is a source of so-called anomalous isotope effect in ozone. The reaction was intensively studied, but at a very basic level. There were only couple of papers where the recombination rate coefficient was computed and found to roughly agree with the experimental data. In this dissertation, the recombination process in ozone is approached using new and efficient method, which includes several modern techniques. …
