Physical Chemistry Experiment

Jupyter notebook

• on your own laptop? download and install anaconda-Navigator from here BEFORE the lab, it can take 30min!
• using a uni computer? login to the computer.
• If you are in LB203 your login may not work in which case you will need to use the lab account which listed on a sticker on the keyboard. If that doesn't work we have a lab account, you will need to get the demonstrator to log you in.
• start a browser up, Chrome, click "got it" on the privacy add that comes up
• start up anaconda-Navigator by searching for anaconda or finding it in the apps list
  
• if an advert window for anaconda cloud or anaconda AI coding help pops up just close it
• it may take a couple of minutes, but you will get a starter window, click on launch for the your juypter notebook
• if you cannot see the Jupyter notebook sometimes it does not start in the "base (root)" environment, if this happens click on the central pull down next to "channel" and select "base (root)"
  
• this will launch juypter which will open a browser window which is the jupyter notebook environment with a directory visible, if you are on a uni-computer check that it looks like the one pictured here (and that you are not accidentially in the wrong place)
  
• download the file chem207_phys_notebook.ipynb
• now find your chem207_phys_notebook.ipynb file either using the file explorer OR by finding its location from chrome using the folder under the download symbol
  
• drag and drop the file into the tchphysics account folder, this is on of the "connected drives",normally the top/first one, ask if you cannot find it!
• because we are all working in the same account and directory AND I will be getting 40 odd files you MUST rename the file adding our initials for example chem207_phys_notebook_XX.ipynb where XX are your initials This is also important because you will be altering and saving this file which you need to hand in as part of the lab
  
• then drag and drop your re-named file into the jupyter notebook web-page
  
• on the main jupyter notebook window load the *.ipynb file by double clicking on the filename, a new tab should open with the file ready to go!
  
• Complete the workbook
  • undertake the activities detailed in the workbook
  • produce the graphs with your name, the date and your fit equations (all generated using the python code), for details see the lab script!
  • AND don't forget to properly reference your ChatGPT questions and answers in your handed-in materials, again for details see the lab script!
  • when you have finished creating your *.ipynb notebook you will need to run all the cells and save the notebook
  • this only saves the file in the python notebook area, you need to copy it back to the tchphysics folder (see below)
• Once finished you will need to "download" the notebook from within the jupyter notebook web-page, choose "File" and then "Download"
  
• find your chem207_phys_notebook_XX.ipynb file either using the file explorer or by finding its location from chrome using the folder under the download symbol and drag it onto the tchphysics account
  
• If using a uni computer EITHER (a) copy the notebook to a memory stick via drag and drop OR (b) e-mail it to yourself. It will probably be easiest to use web-based e-mail.
• If using a uni computer and one of the special teaching accounts you must save your *.ipynb file off the computer. At the end of the labs the account directory will be cleaned and there is no recovery, if you don't have your file you will need to repeat the exercise to produce a new one.
• you need to upload your *.ipynb file onto nuku as part of this lab. Be sure you submit the altered (and not the starting) notebook!
