Show Abstract ( 151 )

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a fast-developing analytical method with broad applications in chemistry and other interdisciplinary researches. Further peak identification is generally needed after computer-assisted spectrum analysis, which is not emphasized or even omitted in chemistry teaching. This paper started with the principles of MS/MS analysis, followed by the systematic summarization of the possible peptide fragmentation and structural characterization in the secondary MS. In addition, this paper introduced spectra calculation methods to illustrate the peptide identification process based on several model proteins. It is our sincere hope that it can provide helpful insights into the protein science education and research.

In addition, in the thermochemistry and so on chapters, the main chemical reactions in exercises are gas phase reactions or gas-solid phase reactions,but the aqueous phase reactions are very few. The comprehensive exercises for chemical thermodynamics had been designed taking daniell cell as an example, which enhanced the relationships between chemical thermodynamics and electrochemistry. And the knowledge points of chemical thermodynamics were related as for as possible. This design of comprehensive exercises for chemical thermodynamics may be useful for arousing students' learning interests, deepening the understanding of contents and promoting students teaching reforms of physical chemistry.

Show Abstract ( 200 )

The structure of SO3 was optimized and compared by the ab initio methods of MP2, QCISD, CCSD and density function theory (DFT) method of B3LYP under the basis set of 6-311++G(3df,3pd), and the results showed the optimization geometry parameters were optimal through QCISD/6-311++G(3df,3pd) method. Based on this method, the hybrid orbitals, hybrid modes and delocalization π bonds of SO3 were analyzed through the natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. The results reveal that S adopts sp2 equivalent hybridization and each sp2 orbital is resided by one pair electrons and remaining an unfilled 3pz orbital. O atoms adopt sp3 nonequivalent hybridization. In fact, the σ bonds between S and O atoms are S→O coordination bonds. The coupling of three 2pz lone pair electrons in O atoms with empty 3pz orbital of S atom forms the π64 delocalization π bond in SO3 molecule. The Mayer bond order is 1.77 between S and O atoms, which further verifies the obvious double bond property of S=O bonds.

Show Abstract ( 171 )
The pH calculation of acid-base solution is the key and difficult part in the theory course study of undergraduate analytical chemistry. There are many formulas and conditions for approximate calculation in the textbooks, which are limited to some simple acid-base system. In this study, the acid-base reaction balances among acids, bases and amphoteric substances were expressed using acid dissociation constant (Ka). Accordingly, the proton balance equations were established, and then the universal equation for pH calculation of all the acid-base system was derived. By the use of Mathematica software, it was quite convenient to obtain the accurate solutions of equations. Through learning general formulas and employing computer software for accurate calculation of pH, it was more beneficial for students to overall master the theoretical basis and accurate solutions in complex systems of pH calculation during learning analytical chemistry.
