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.

Our Everyday Cup of Coffee: The Chemistry behind Its Magic Marino Petracco
Coffee beverages are so popular all over the world that there is hardly any need to describe them. But underlying this seemingly commonplace beverage there is a whole realm worth serious scientific study. The complexity of the raw seed matrix, made even more intricate when roasted, requires a deep understanding of its chemical nature. While coffee is not consumed for nutritional purposes, it is appreciated for its taste appeal along with its stimulating effects on mental and physical activity. The attention to quality is of paramount importance to both of these aspects to supply the customers with a pleasant and wholesome product.

Demonstration of Surface Tension Andrew J. Rosenthal
Even though surface tension is a tensor with a relatively small magnitude, when it acts on particles with a small radius, the overall force produced is substantial. Surface tension is responsible for the destabilization of many colloidal systems. This short paper describes a simple demonstration that illustrates the phenomenon.

Measuring Soil Phosphates Using Ion-Exchange Resins: A Final Project for Freshman Chemistry Donald A. Storer and A. M. Sarquis
A model final project for freshman chemistry that uses a discovery-based scenario is described. The effect of solubility of compounds in a practical application is illustrated by allowing the student to discover that limestone (calcium carbonate) will react with phosphates in soils to produce insoluble compounds. The phosphate in the soil is isolated by a mixed-bed, anion-cation exchange resin capsule and analyzed spectrophotometrically.
