Chemistry Taster Session - Analysing and modelling aspirin

In this interactive session, we will explore how chemists analyse their samples, using aspirin as an example. We will discuss infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and you'll get the chance to use molecular modelling software to visualise aspirin in 3D as well!

After a quick break, there will be a chance for you to find out more about being a chemistry student at the University of Sheffield, as you take part in a Q&A. You will have the chance to talk to some of our current undergraduate students and a member of our admissions team, who will all be on hand to answer any queries you might have about studying chemistry at university. If you’d like to have a go at making aspirin virtually before the session, why not try this simulated experiment from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Please note this is a repeat session of the events ran between April - October 2020. You are welcome to attend again, however, please be aware the content of the session will be the same.
