A Pollutant Transformation Laboratory Exercise for Environmental Chemistry: The Reduction of Nitrobenzenes by Anaerobic Solutions of Humic Acid
Dunnivant, Frank M.; Reynolds, Mark-Cody
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n2 p315-317 Feb 2007
The laboratory experiment, which acts as a capstone, integrated lecture-laboratory exercise involving solution preparation, pH buffers, [E[subscript]H] (reduction potential) buffers, organic reaction mechanisms, reaction kinetics, and instrumental analysis is presented. The students completing the lecture and laboratory exercises could gain a thorough understanding of the effect of solution chemistry properties on abiotic transformation reactions in the environment.
