The dif- ferences in how scientists and engineers think stem from the fact that chemical sensors may be interpreted, on the one hand, as a kind of artificial sense or- gan developed by engineers to equip automatic machines. On the other hand, chemical sensors are not unlike the other myriad small analytical instruments common in analytical chemistry. The book was written with the aim of providing students of technical dis- ciplines with a basic understanding of certain aspects of chemical science as well as providing students of chemistry with a basic knowledge of electronics and other technical aspects of their discipline. Whenthebookfirstappeared,theauthorwasunawareofasinglepublication that he could recommend to his students without reservations. It seems that this situation has not changed markedly in the time since then. Thus, the author feels encouraged in presenting this English version of his textbook, which is more or less a translation of the German edition.

the compact disc or the personal computer. The term ‘sensor’ is easily understood. People may imagine a sensor similar to a sensing organ or a tentacle of an ant. Chemical sensors, as a special variety of sensors, can be found, for example, in a cold storage place in the form of a freshness sensor which detects spoiled food. A generation ago, the word sensor was not widely used. Today, however, sensors are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. Our world is changing rapidly, and sensors play an important role in this process. Chemical sensors analyse our environment, i.e. they detect which substances are present and in what quantity. Generally, this is the task of analytical chem- istry, which aims to solve such problems by means of precise instruments in well-equipped laboratories. For a long time there was a trend towards increased centralization of analytical laboratories, but in certain respects we now see a re- versal of this tendency away from instrumental gigantism. Such a tendency to buildsmallerdevicesinsteadofeverbiggeronesoccurredmanyyearsagowhen

  • Quantum Mechanics Electromotive Force
    Quantum Mechanics_Electromotive force . Electromotive force, also called emf[1] (denoted and measured in volts), is the voltage developed by any source of electrical energy such as a batteryor dynamo.[2] The word "force" in this case is not used to mean mechanical force, measured in newtons, but a potential, or energy per unit of charge, measured involts. In electromagnetic induction, emf can be defined around a closed loop as the electromagnetic workthat would be transferred to a unit of charge if it travels once around that loop.[3] (While the charge travels around the loop, it can simultaneously lose the energy via resistance into thermal energy.) For a time-varying magnetic flux impinging a loop, theElectric potential scalar field is not defined due to circulating electric vector field, but nevertheless an emf does work that can be measured as a virtual electric potential around that loop.[4] In a two-terminal device (such as an electrochemical cell or electromagnetic generator), the emf can be measured as the open-circuit potential difference across the two terminals. The potential difference thus created drives current flow if an external circuit is attached to the source of emf. When current flows, however, the potential difference across the terminals is no longer equal to the emf, but will be smaller because of the voltage drop within the device due to its internal resistance. Devices that can provide emf includeelectrochemical cells, thermoelectric devices, solar cells and photodiodes, electrical generators,transformers, and even Van de Graaff generators.[4][5] In nature, emf is generated whenever magnetic field fluctuations occur through a surface.

  • Properties of Acids and Bases
    GREEN CHEMISTRY LABORATORY MANUAL Lab 22 Properties of Acids and Bases TN Standard 4.2: The student will investigate the characteristics of acids and bases. Have you ever brushed your teeth and then drank a glass of orange juice? hat do you taste when you brush your teeth and drink orange juice afterwards. Yuck! It leaves a really bad taste in your mouth, but why? Orange juice and toothpaste by themselves taste good. But the terrible taste W results because an acid/base reaction is going on in your mouth. Orange juice is a weak acid and the toothpaste is a weak base. When they are placed together they neutralize each other and produce a product that is unpleasant to taste. How do you determine what is an acid and what is a base? In this lab we will discover how to distinguish between acids and bases. Introduction Two very important classes of compounds are acids and bases. But what exactly makes them different? There are differences in definition, physical differences, and reaction differences. According to the Arrhenius definition, acids ionize in water to + produce a hydronium ion (H3O ), and bases dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH -). Physical differences can be detected by the senses, including taste and touch. Acids have a sour or tart taste and can produce a stinging sensation to broken skin. For example, if you have ever tasted a lemon, it can often result in a sour face. Bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Soap and many cleaning products are bases.

Winemaking procedure(s) differs at winemaker, winery, region, and country level. Many different techniques, recipes, outcomes. Desired wine style dictates much of winemaking techniques employed. Money, time and workers also important. Why we bother! Evaluating Wine –Objective Qualities Varietal character How well a wine presents the aromas and flavors inherent to the grapes from which it was made Integration How well all the components of wine are balanced and complementary to each other Expressiveness Well‐defined and clearly projected aromas and flavors Complexity That indescribable something that makes wine more art than beverage Connectedness The cultural connection a wine has to the place it was grown Components of Wine Alcohol Comes from fermentation; affects body, texture, aroma, & flavor May be sensed as a “hot” smell or burning sensation in the nose Acidity Comes from natural acid in the grape; may be sensed as tartness Wines lacking acidity taste dull, flat or flabby and do not age well Tannin Comes from seeds, skins and stems; adds “backbone” and “character” to the wine; is a natural preservative In overabundance, wine tastes harsh or bitter Fruitiness Propensity of wine to display fruity aromas and flavors Sugar (sweetness/dryness) Depends on how much of the grape’s original sugar content was converted to alcohol Not the same as fruitiness!

  • Turning Image Sensors Into Position and Time Sensitive Quantitative Colorimetric Data Sources with the Aid of Novel Image Processing/Analysis Software
    sensors Article Turning Image Sensors into Position and Time Sensitive Quantitative Colorimetric Data Sources with the Aid of Novel Image Processing/Analysis Software Yeongsik Yoo 1 and Woo Sik Yoo 2,* 1 College of Liberal Arts, Dankook University, Yongin-si 16890, Gyeonggi-do, Korea; [email protected] 2 WaferMasters, Dublin, CA 94568, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 10 November 2020 Abstract: Still images and video images acquired from image sensors are very valuable sources of information. From still images, position-sensitive, quantitative intensity, or colorimetric information can be obtained. Video images made of a time series of still images can provide time-dependent, quantitative intensity, or colorimetric information in addition to the position-sensitive information from a single still image. With the aid of novel image processing/analysis software, extraction of position- and time-sensitive quantitative colorimetric information was demonstrated from still image and video images of litmus test strips for pH tests of solutions. Visual inspection of the color change in the litmus test strips after chemical reaction with chemical solutions is typically exercised. Visual comparison of the color of the test solution with a standard color chart provides an approximate pH value to the nearest whole number. Accurate colorimetric quantification and dynamic analysis of chemical properties from captured still images and recorded video images of test solutions using novel image processing/analysis software are proposed with experimental feasibility study results towards value-added image sensor applications. Position- and time-sensitive quantitative colorimetric measurements and analysis examples are demonstrated.

Example 1: 2- - H2 + O ' H2O + 2e - 2- ½O2 + 2e ' O H2 + ½O2 ' H2O 0 n = 2 and ΔG 298 = - 286 kJ/mol H2 Example 2: 2- - 2H2 + 2O ' 2H2O + 4e - 2- O2 + 4e ' 2O 2H2 + O2 ' 2H2O 0 n = 4 and ΔG 298 = - 572 kJ/mol O2 LargeSOFC Summer School 2010 Basics At standard conditions (25 °C and 1 atm): Emf = -ΔG0/(nF) = - (- 286 kJ/mol)/(2*96485 As/mol) = - (- 572 kJ/mol)/(4*96485 As/mol) = 1.23 V ΔG = ΔG0 + RTlnK, K is the constant in the law of mass action This gives us the Nernst equation: RT P EE=+ ln HO2 0 nF P P HO22 LargeSOFC Summer School 2010 Basics The cell voltage may deviate from the theoretical Nernst voltage.
