COURSE PROJECT/RESEARCH:
Chemistry and Society Lab, VCU, Richmond, VA, Fall 2005
▪ Prepared samples of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas and examined the chemical properties of
oxygen, carbon dioxide, exhaled air and room air
▪ Used a conductivity detector to measure the conductivity of several liquids, solutions and foods to
observe the effect of ion concentration on conductivity and to measure conductivity changes during a
chemical reaction
▪ Determined pH of rain on a wellplate using litmus paper and red cabbage juice
