This chapter will allow you to put your forensics skills to the test. The chemical principles discussed in earlier chapters will be used to solve a fictitious murder mystery. Here you will find the videos, simulations, and articles for both the 10th Edition and the 2024 Release:
Chapter 14 Opening Video
This video introduces students to the forensics they'll use in Chapter 14 to solve a mystery.
Solvent Still
This video demonstrates how to safely set up a THF solvent still with potassium.
Gas Chromatography
This video shows students how to use a gas chromatograph.
Mass Spectrometry
This video shows students how to use a mass spectrometer.
Microscope Principles
This video points out the differences between an optical microscope and an electron microscope.
DNA Extraction
This Flash-based virtual lab allows students to extract DNA from samples.
Polymerase Chain Reaction
This Flash-based virtual lab allows students to perform a PCR reaction to better understand what's depicted in Figure 14.18.
