Principles of Chemical Science (MIT OCW: 5.111, Fall 2005)

 

5.111 is an introductory chemistry course, emphasizing basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. This course also introduces the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.

  • Video and Audio Lectures taught by Professor Sylvia Ceyer and by Professor Catherine Drennan.

  • An outline of lecture topics accompanies each video lecture.

Principles of Chemical Science (MIT OCW: 5.112, Fall 2005)

 

5.112 is an introductory chemistry course for students with an unusually strong background in chemistry. Knowledge of calculus equivalent to 18.01 is recommended. Emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. The course also covers applications of basic principles to problems in metal coordination chemistry, organic chemistry, and biological chemistry.

  • Video and Audio Lectures taught by Professor Sylvia Ceyer and by Professor Christopher Cummins.

  • An outline of lecture topics accompanies each video lecture.

Chemistry Laboratory Techniques (MIT OCW: 5.301, January (IAP) 2004)

 

This course is an intensive introduction to the techniques of experimental chemistry and gives first year students an opportunity to learn and master the basic chemistry lab techniques for carrying out experiments. Students who successfully complete the course and obtain a "Competent Chemist" (CC) or "Expert Experimentalist" (EE) rating are likely to secure opportunities for research work in a chemistry lab at MIT.

 

The "Digital Lab Techniques Manual" is a series of videos designed to help you prepare for your chemistry laboratory class. Each video provides a detailed demonstration of a common laboratory technique, as well as helpful tips and information. These videos are meant to supplement, and not replace, your lab manual and assigned reading. In fact, you will most benefit from watching the videos if you have already read the appropriate background information. To be a great experimentalist, you must understand both theory and technique! If you have questions about what you see, make sure to ask your TA or your instructor.

  • Video Lectures: Videos #1-10 created by Dr. Sarah Tabacco and Aaeyesha Siddiqui. Videos #11-17 created by Dr. Kimberly Berkowski and Eileen Huang.

Introductory Quantum Mechanics II (MIT OCW: 5.74, Spring 2004)

 

This course covers time-dependent quantum mechanics and spectroscopy. Topics include perturbation theory, two-level systems, light-matter interactions, relaxation in quantum systems, correlation functions and linear response theory, and nonlinear spectroscopy.

Organic Chemistry Demonstration Experiments on Video Chemistry Visualized

 

Illustrate important aspects of chemistry (reaction types, dyes, synthetics, chemical technology, chemistry in every day life), involve substances or equipment that are not available in many schools, and/or are hazardous or cause problems of disposal.

The experiments are 'student and teacher friendly' - there is no overwhelming technology. In the experiment descriptions there is enough theoretical background to remind teachers and students of the theoretical context of the experiment.

Our project intends to accompany the experiment lectures of organic chemistry allowing thus to revive the life shown experiments as video versions. Students can use their time on the computer effectively. Students are free to review as often as they like. Videos containing experiments, can assist students in learning.

The videos allow the students to see experiments which they would not be able to perform themselves, for reasons of skill, safety, expensive apparatus and materials or limited resources such as fume cupboards.
