Abstract
A surface science experiment has been developed that can be used in both the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Students study the mechanism of carbon monoxide oxidation using a platinum foil catalyst, and they also get hands-on experience with ultrahigh vacuum equipment. Using temperature programmed desorption, students study the desorption of carbon monoxide and oxygen from platinum foil in vacuum. The study allows students to determine that the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism operates in this catalytic system.
