Abstract:INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY USING A HOMEMADE COLORIMETER -AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPERIMENT. Herein, we propose an interdisciplinary experiment for undergraduate course that involves concepts of organic and physical chemistry. Firstly, we propose the synthesis of three nitrophenyl acetates, varying the substituent position. Afterwards, we describe the construction of a homemade colorimeter using inexpensive materials and LED as both emission and detection dispositives. Finally, the colorimeter is … Show more
