Senior Amanda Kern is working with Dr. Richard B. Keithley in the Chemistry Department. Amanda has been working on the development of a UV-VIS spectroscopy experiment for future CHEM 350 instrumental analysis where students utilize a double beam in time UV-VIS spectrometer to extract kinetic data from a chemical system of real-world relevance. The molecular reaction being studied is the degradation of food dye with sodium hypochlorite producing a colorless product. Great work Amanda!
