Combustion of Methane Methane combustion in balloons, a Bunsen burner flame, and methane combustion in chlorine are demonstrated.
The Aromaticity of Pericyclic Reaction Transition StatesHenry S. Rzepa Presents an approach that combines two fundamental concepts in organic chemistry, chirality and aromaticity, into a simple rule for stating selection rules for pericyclic reactions in terms of achiral Hckel-aromatic and chiral Mbius-aromatic transition states. Rzepa, Henry S. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1535.

Diastereoselectivity in the Reduction of α-Hydroxyketones. An Experiment for the Chemistry Major Organic LaboratoryDavid B. Ball Describes a research type, inquiry-based project where students synthesize racemic ahydroxyketones using umpolung, a polarity-reversal approach; investigate chelating versus non-chelating reducing agents; and determine the diastereoselectivity of these reducing processes by NMR spectroscopy. Ball, David B. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 101.

A Set of Hands-On Exercises on Conformational AnalysisSilvina C. Pellegrinet and Ernesto G. Mata This article describes a set of comprehensive exercises on conformational analysis that employs a hands-on approach by the use of molecular modeling kits. In addition, the exercises provide illustrations of other topics such as nomenclature, functional groups, and isomerism, and introduce some notions of chirality. Pellegrinet, Silvina C.; Mata, Ernesto G. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 73.

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.
