Reactive Intermediates--Three Student Experiments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hanson, R. W. – Education in Chemistry, 1971
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science, Experiments
Introducing the Wittig Reaction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Armstead, D. E. F. – Education in Chemistry, 1979
An experiment is described which provides a simple example of the application of the Wittig reaction to the synthesis of unsaturated compounds. The experiment was designed with British HNC chemistry students in mind, but it is also suitable as a project-type exercise for final year GCE A-level students. (Author/BB)

Microanalysis of Alkenes by Ozonolysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Luibrand, R. T.; Vollmer, J. J. – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes an undergraduate laboratory experiment in which the position of the double bond in an alkene is determined by identifying its ozonolysis products. This experiment can also be used to introduce the technique of gas chromatography. (MLH)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education
Practical Fashions-1
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dronsfield, A. T. – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Suggests replacing traditional organic chemistry laboratory exercises with experiments involving an elementary research approach. The student is provided with short laboratory projects, normally involving simple reactants and products; it is an important criterion that the reactions chosen are not normally featured in student textbooks. (MLH)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education, Instruction
Curious Kinetics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hodson, D. – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Explains a series of experiments that increased students' awareness and understanding of activation energy, reaction transition states, rates of reaction, provided a neat example of the diagnostic utility of infrared spectroscopy and furnished insight into the accidental research situation. (Author/GS)
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education
Computer Aided Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cox, P. J. – Education in Chemistry, 1979
Describes a computer aided analysis and subsequent assessment of analytical (pharmaceutical) chemistry data from an undergraduate laboratory course. (Author/GA)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, Computer Assisted Instruction, Evaluation
The Preparation of Ferrocene
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hartley, F. R.; Temple-Nidd, G. – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes the preparation of a compound that is of particular interest because of its sandwich structure in which the metal atom is sandwiched between two planar C5H5-rings. Sublimation results in the formation of long thin plate-like crystals. (GS)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education, Laboratory Experiments
An Industrial Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Daniels, D. J.; And Others – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes the commercial uses, industrial production and laboratory production of 2-methylpentane-2,4-diol. Suggests extensions for the experiment in the areas of boiling point/composition curves and alkaline depolymerization. (GS)
Descriptors: Chemical Industry, Chemistry, Laboratory Experiments, Organic Chemistry
An Integrated Laboratory Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hanson, R. W.; Simmons, Geoffrey A. E. – Education in Chemistry, 1972
Describes a project involving the integration of inorganic and organic chemistry by a study of copper determination involving an organic complex. (TS)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Coordination Compounds, Instructional Materials
Nitration of Acetanilide - a Student Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, W. R. D. – Education in Chemistry, 1971
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Chromatography, College Science
Polybutenes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Daniels, D. J.; And Others – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Discusses the use of aluminum chloride and other Friedel-Crafts type catalysts to polymerize 2-methylpropene and the application of such products in industry and agriculture. Includes a laboratory experiment on the polybutene preparation suitable for high school purposes. (CC)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures
Substitution and Elimination
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Biggs, I. D.; And Others – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Discusses the design of two experiments on the reactions of 1-Chloro-1, 2-diphenylethane and of C-5 halides with nucleophiles in an inservice teacher course. Indicates that the material can be applied in teaching chemistry at both secondary and college levels. (CC)
