Kathryn R. WilliamsJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (10), 1448Balloon—Toy of Many Colors
Kathryn R. WilliamsJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (10), 1448Balloons are widely used in chemistry, in both classroom and laboratory scenarios. Balloon-related articles in JCE describe gas law experiments and demonstrations, large-scale molecular models, demonstrations of reaction rates and stoichiometry, hydrogen-...

Chemical Demonstrations as the Laboratory Component in Nonscience Majors Courses. An Outreach-Targeted Approach
Charles E. Ophardt , Michelle S. Applebee and Eugene N. LoseyJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (8), 1174Chemical Demonstrations as the Laboratory Component in Nonscience Majors Courses. An Outreach-Targeted Approach
Charles E. Ophardt , Michelle S. Applebee and Eugene N. LoseyJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (8), 1174In place of traditional cookbook laboratory exercises, a nonmajors' chemistry course uses a demonstration-focused laboratory to understand basic chemical theories. Each student spends the lab session preparing, practicing, and learning the chemistry of ...

A Methane Balloon Inflation Chamber

Curtis J. Czerwinski and Tanya J. Cordes , Joe FranekJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (2), 248While several lecture demonstrations are possible using methane-filled balloons, it is often inconvenient to prepare these balloons since the pressure from standard laboratory and lecture hall gas nozzles is too low. As a solution to this problem, a ...
