Sudoku Puzzles as Chemistry Learning Tools Thomas D. Crute and Stephanie A. Myers Sudoku puzzles that use a mixture of chemical terms and symbols serve as a tool to encourage the necessary repetition and attention to detail desired for mastering chemistry. The classroom-ready examples provided use polyatomic ions, organic functional groups, and strong nucleophiles. Guidelines for developing additional puzzles are described.

Improving Conceptions in Analytical Chemistry: ci Vi = cf Vf Margarita Rodríguez-López and Arnaldo Carrasquillo Jr. A common misconception related to analytical chemistry, which may be generalized as the failure to recognize and to account analytically for changes in substance density, is discussed. A cautionary example is made through the use of mass-based units of composition during volumetric dilution. The correct application of the volumetric dilution equation ci Vi = cf Vf is discussed. A quantitative description of the systematic error introduced by incorrect use of the volumetric dilution equation is also specified. Rodríguez-López, Margarita; Carrasquillo, Arnaldo, Jr. J. Chem.

Are We Taking Symbolic Language for Granted? Paul Marais and Faan Jordaan This study formed part of a broader investigation into the role of language in teaching and learning chemical equilibrium. Students were tested for their understanding of 25 words and five symbols commonly used in connection with chemical equilibrium. This test showed that most of the students had an inadequate grasp of the meaning of all five symbols. It also showed that, on the average, their understanding of symbols was more problematic than their understanding of words. Marais, Paul; Jordaan, Faan. J. Chem. Educ. 2000, 77, 1355.

The Use of Extent of Reaction in Introductory Courses Sebastian G. Canagaratna This article discusses the use of the extent of reaction as an alternative to the traditional approach to stoichiometry in first-year chemistry. The method focuses attention on the reaction as a whole rather than on pairs of reagents as in the traditional approach. The balanced equation is used as the unit of change. Canagaratna, Sebastian G.

A Note on the Term "Chalcogen" William B. Jensen It is argued that the best translation of the term "chalcogen" is "ore former." It is further suggested that the term chalcogenide should be replaced with the term chalcide in order to maintain a parallelism with the terms halogen and halide. Jensen, William B. J. Chem.
