Exploding Soap Bubbles: Hydrogen + Oxygen A series of three videos shows that as the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in soap bubbles increases, the explosions that occur when the bubbles are ignited get louder. (The fact that with an excess of oxygen the explosions would become softer again is not shown.) Each video is repeated with no voice-over so that only the sounds of the explosions are heard. Five still images are provided to show the stoichiometry on the molecular scale. The videos are intended to be shown in order beginning with Hydrogen Alone and ending with hydrogen plus more oxygen.
The Role of Water Chemistry in Marine Aquarium Design: A Model System for a General Chemistry ClassJeffrey J. Keaffaber, Ramiro Palma, and Kathryn R. Williams Water chemistry is central to aquarium design, and it provides many potential applications for discussion in undergraduate chemistry and engineering courses. This article uses a hypothetical tank to house ocean sunfish as a model to show students the calculations and other considerations that are needed when designing a marine aquarium. Keaffaber, Jeffrey J.; Palma, Ramiro; Williams, Kathryn R. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 225.

Using Ozone in Organic Chemistry Lab: The Ozonolysis of EugenolBruce M. Branan, Joshua T. Butcher, and Lawrence R. Olsen This organic laboratory involves the ozonolysis of eugenol (clove oil) followed by a reductive workup that generates an aldehyde easily identified by its NMR and IR spectra. Branan, Bruce M.; Butcher, Joshua T.; Olsen, Lawrence R. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1979.

A Guided-Inquiry Approach to the Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Grignard Reaction of Carbonyl CompoundsRobert E. Rosenberg Students teams identify unknowns and their reaction products and use their data to deduce that esters are less electrophilic than the other carbonyl compounds present, that Grignard reagents are more nucleophilic than sodium borohydride, and that carboxylic acid derivatives do not undergo the nucleophilic addition reactions that are characteristic of aldehydes and ketones. Rosenberg, Robert E. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1474.
Chromate-Dichromate (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Chromate/Dichromate: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will study shifts in the equilibrium between chromate and dichromate. 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.
Oxidation / Reduction
Halogens and Halides (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Halogens and Halides: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will study the oxidation-reduction reactions between the halogens and the halide ions. The halogens and halides will be dissolved in water and hexane. 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.
