VCE Chemistry Tasters

RMIT University's Analytical Instrument workshops run in February each year.

The workshops assist students with VCE Chemistry Unit 3 and can be the basis of an extended investigation on analytical techniques.

Students complete an analysis on one of the following instruments, examine the workings of a second instrument, and then complete a follow-up activity on IR and NMR spectrometry.

• HPLC - caffeine content of a soft drink
• Gas Chromatography - ethanol content of wine
• UV/Vis Spectroscopy - the iron content of a common supplement tablet.
• Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy - the amount of sodium in soy sauce or a sport drink.

Registrations for next year will open in December 2012.
