While the application of fluorometry to the quatitation of a very wide range of both inorganic and organic analytes often is remarked upon in instrumental texts, well-tested examples of quantitative experiments for the teaching laboratory are restricted mostly to methods for organic species. There appear to be very few laboratory procedures published describing the quantitative determination of inorganic species by fluorometric methods that are suitable for use in an undergraduate instrumental analysis course. This article describes a quantitative experiment that employs fluorometry to determine aluminum.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
