Summary:
This thesis was planned to aid teachers in introducing chemical instrumentation in upper secondary or undergraduate chemistry courses. The problems encountered and solved in the construction of a single beam visible range spectrophotometer, conductance bridge, and polarimeter are described. Experiments were carried out with each instrument to demonstrate their efficiency as compared to commercial models. Pertinent theory on the operation of the instruments is included that can be easily understood by students on this educational level. Construction of the instruments is simple and inexpensive, which allows schools with limited budgets to introduce topics on instrumentation into the chemistry curriculum.
