The Chemical Wonders of No-Mess Markers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thomas S. Kuntzleman; Dean J. Campbell – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
So-called "Color Wonder" markers contain colorless dyes that only display color when used to mark on special "Color Wonder" paper. These markers make use of leuco dyes that only develop color in the presence of acid. These markers provide science educators with a novel chemical system that can be implemented in inquiry-based…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Marcotte, Ronald E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2005
This physical chemistry lecture demonstration is designed to aid the understanding of intramolecular energy transfer processes as part of the presentation of the theory of unimolecular reaction rates. Coupled pendulums are used to show the rate of migration of energy between oscillators under resonant and nonresonant conditions with varying…
