Chemistry Students Present Research
05/04/2009
Ten Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Geochemical Science majors traveled to Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh to present their research at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium sponsored by the Mid-Hudson Section of the American Chemical Society. Many of these ongoing projects are highly interdisciplinary in nature and involve faculty and students from different disciplines.

Infrared Analysis of Automobile Exhaust in Instrumental Analysis
04/06/2009
The Instrumental Analysis class (taught by Dr. Megan Ferguson) is a core course for both the Chemistry and Environmental Geochemical Science majors. This course is a combination of theory and practice where the students learn how modern chemical instrumentation works and analyze a variety of samples using instrumental methods. The pictures below are from an experiment in which the students collected samples of automobile exhaust immediately after starting the engine and later after the engine had warmed up. The students used infrared spectroscopy to analyze for carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust.
