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.

An Inventory for Alternate Conceptions among First-Semester General Chemistry StudentsDouglas R. Mulford and William R. Robinson Development of an instrument to measure the extent of entering students' alternate conceptions about topics found in most traditional first semester general chemistry courses. Mulford, Douglas R.; Robinson, William R. J. Chem. Educ.2002, 79, 739.

The First-Day Quiz as a Teaching TechniqueRaymond S. Ochs A first-day quiz for students in an advanced chemistry class, presented to them ostensibly as a test of basic knowledge. The important objective of the exercise is to allow students to realize what they don't know about fundamental chemistry, which makes them more receptive to chemical education. Raymond S. Ochs. J. Chem. Educ.1998, 75, 401.
Coumarin, Naphthalene, and Additional Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonsWilliam F. Coleman The featured molecules this month are drawn from two papers. The first, "One-Pot Synthesis of 7-Hydroxy-3-carboxycoumarin in Water", is a Green Chemistry feature by Fringuelli, Piermatti, and Pizzo. The three-dimensional versions of the molecules in the synthesis of the coumarin derivative are directly tied to the reaction scheme included in the paper, opening the possibility of showing large numbers of complex synthetic pathways in this manner.The second paper is "Determining the Carbon-Carbon Distance in an Organic Molecule with a Ruler" by Simoni, Tubino, and Ricchi. This article describes an experiment to determine the size of a naphthalene molecule, using an extension of classic experiments for determining molecular size and Avogadro's number. While the structure of naphthalene will come as no surprise to most students, the molecule collection also includes additional polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can be used to introduce students to the environmental and health issues related to these molecules.
