Blue Bottle, Red and Blue Bottle Color changes are caused by reactions of oxygen in the air with chemicals in a solution. The colors fade over time, but can be regenerated by shaking the flask containing the solution.

Oxidation / Reduction
Induction by Iron(II) of the Oxidation of Iodide by Dichromate Acidic aqueous solutions containing dichromate and iodide ions are mixed with no reaction. The addition of a solution of iron(II) ion induces the rapid formation of brown triiodide ion.
the following mechanism has been proposed at high temperatures: (1) NO2 + CO O-N-O-C-O (slow) (2) O-N-O-C-O NO + CO2 (fast) Check the box for each species that is an intermediate in this mechanism.
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.

"It Gets Me to the Product": How Students Propose Organic MechanismsGautam Bhattacharyya and George M. Bodner Because practicing organic chemists use the arrow-pushing formalism in situations that are far removed from the simple contexts in which they are first presented, this study probed how students enrolled in a first-semester, graduate-level organic chemistry course approached the task of writing the mechanisms for two- to four-step reactions that lacked the typical cues that bring common mechanisms to mind. This article focuses on the students' solutions and discusses possible limitations of their strategies. Bhattacharyya, Gautam; Bodner, George M. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1402.
