Project 2 – ThermoChemistry

• Overview – Project 2 Handout – Professor Yarger
  • ASU ONLINE CHM343 Spring 2023 Project 2 students will use benzoic acid as a standard and should pick one fatty acid and one carbohydrate (sugar) for experimental, computational and simulated calorimetry experiments. A understanding of the thermodynamics of simple fats versus carbohydrates is an important and broad reaching health and biochemistry topic.
