Abstract:The topic of ionic liquids is typically not taught at the undergraduate level. Many properties, such as conductivity, vapor pressure, and viscosity, of these so-called "green solvents" are unique compared to traditional molecular solvents. Using active learning techniques, we introduced an ionic liquid module in the physical chemistry laboratory where their structures and physical properties, namely, viscosity, conductivity, and vapor pressure, were explored in relation to molecular solvents. Summative and for… Show more
