Peer reviewedVincent, Alan – Education in Chemistry, 1972
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemistry, College Science, Resource Materials
Peer reviewedEllis, C. M. – Education in Chemistry, 1977
Describes the use of ethyl or methyl ethanoate mixed with trichloromethane to illustrate intermolecular forces and deviations from Raoult's Law. (MLH)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education, Instructional Materials
Peer reviewedSanderson, R. T. – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes the "coordinated polymeric model," which yields more accurate energy calculations than the "ionic model" for compounds which exhibit considerable covalency. The dichotomy between ionic and covalent bonding is thus largely broken down for solids which are nonmolecular in the crystalline state. (MLH)

Peer reviewedYoung, I. G. – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Many standard physical chemistry textbooks contain ambiguities which lead to confusion about standard electrode potentials, calculating cell voltages, and writing reactions for galvanic cells. This article shows how standard electrode potentials can be used to calculate cell voltages and deduce cell reactions. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedHawkins, M. D.; And Others – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes several oscillating chemical reactions which can be used in undergraduate chemistry laboratories. In one such reaction, ferroin oscillates from red (reducing solution) to blue (oxidizing solution) for about an hour at a frequency which can readily be shown to depend on such factors as the temperature, type of solvent, and concentration…

Peer reviewedCooke, D. O. – Education in Chemistry, 1977
Discusses methods for observing oscillations in a chemical reaction about a steady state en route to equilibrium. (MLH)

Peer reviewedChappell, P. J.; Selinger, Ben – Education in Chemistry, 1978
Discusses two different uses of information theory in chemistry to present entropy and chemical structure analysis. (GA)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education
Peer reviewedWright, P. G. – Education in Chemistry, 1974
Discusses difficulties of teaching thermodynamics at the secondary school level, including misconceptions about entropy, teachers' insufficient preparation, and the physical and mathematical nature of the subject. Concludes that thermodynamics has to be reserved for university teaching since it is a "non-pictorial theory" in physical science. (CC)

Peer reviewedOgborn, Jon – Education in Chemistry, 1974
Describes arguments against teaching thermodynamics at the secondary school level as an argument against teaching it in a certain way. Concludes that an honest and simple presentation of thermodynamic ideas is possible after special steps have been taken to help teachers in understanding the subject. (CC)

Peer reviewedBarrett, J.; Beezer, A. E. – Education in Chemistry, 1977
Describes the use of computer-assisted graphical displays in experiments to determine the order and activation energy for a chemical reaction. (MLH)
