Combustion of Methane Methane combustion in balloons, a Bunsen burner flame, and methane combustion in chlorine are demonstrated.
Bonding : MatchBondStrength (8 Variations)
Match each of the following molecules to the best energy value for each bond. Do not use the table of bond energies in your book, but predict these values using your knowledge of bond length and bond strength.
Possible energies are: 300 kJ/mol, 330 kJ/mol, 415 kJ/mol and 950 kJ/mol.
The Mechanism of Covalent Bonding: Analysis within the Hückel Model of Electronic StructureSture Nordholm, Andreas Bäck, and George B. Bacskay Hckel molecular orbital theory is shown to be uniquely useful in understanding and interpreting the mechanism of covalent bonding. Using the Hckel model it can be demonstrated that the dynamical character of the molecular orbitals is related simultaneously to the covalent bonding mechanism and to the degree of delocalization of the electron dynamics. Nordholm, Sture; Bäck, Andreas; Bacskay, George B. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1201.

Introduction of Differential Scanning Calorimetry in a General Chemistry Laboratory Course: Determination of Thermal Properties of Organic HydrocarbonsRonald DAmelia, Thomas Franks, and William F. Nirode Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a rugged, easy-to-use instrumental method for thermal analysis determinations. The work described herein discusses the use of DSC in a general chemistry laboratory course to determine thermal properties such as melting points, ?fusionH, ?fusionS, and introduce the concept of polymorphism for organic hydrocarbons. DAmelia, Ronald; Franks, Thomas; Nirode, William F. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 453.

Entropy and the Shelf Model: A Quantum Physical Approach to a Physical PropertyArnd H. Jungermann A quantum physical approach relying on energy quantization leads to three simple rules which are the key to understanding the physical property described by molar entropy values. Jungermann, Arnd H. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 1686.
Hexane 1 (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Hexane 1: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". Hexane, a liquid hydrocarbon with the formula C6H14, burns when ignited in the presence of oxygen. In this problem we will observe videos of this combustion reaction. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
