Laboratory Experiments

Abstract
This brief article offers a variation on the use of HCl vapor as an experiment in a Physical Chemistry college course. The use of a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR) increases the sensitivity and the speed of the analysis due to the inherent increase in optical throughput of the spectrometer as compared to a dispersive infrared spectrophotometer. For this experiment, a 10-cm pathlength quartz cell is shown to be useful, economic, and the cell does not require special handling.
