This article details two demonstrations involving color changes. Included are "Manganese Color Reactions" and "Flame Colors Demonstration." Include a list of materials needed, procedures, cautions, and results. (CW)

Describes demonstrations of gaseous acid-base reactions and variations on traditional "clock" reactions. (SL)

Describes a lecture demonstration method to illustrate some aspects of the nitration of alkyl benzenes. (SL)

Three chemistry demonstrations are described: (1) partition coefficients; (2) Rutherford simulation experiment; and (3) demonstration of the powerful oxidizing property of dimanganeseheptoxide. Background information, materials needed, and procedures are provided for each demonstration. (JN)

Lecture-demonstrations are presented on the topics of measurement errors and formation and dissolution of precipitates. (BB)

Described are demonstrations designed to reveal the important "nonsolvent" properties of water through its interaction with a toy called "Magic Sand" and other synthetic silica derivatives, especially those bonded with organic moities. The procedures for seven demonstrations along with a discussion of the effects are presented. (CW)

Suggestions on the preparation of various kinds of glass and a demonstration of burning magnesium and dry ice are presented. (CP)

Provides demonstrations using digital display instruments of some of the mass and pH-related topics covered in first-year chemistry courses. (CP)

Presents two demonstrations which are intended for chemistry college students. These demonstrations are: (1) enhancement of concentration quenching by micelles; and (2) the thermite lecture demonstration. (HM)

Described is a demonstration in which the reaction sequence can be easily followed since the reactant, intermediates, and the final product have intense and different colors. Materials and procedures for this demonstration are discussed. (CW)

Presents the following chemistry lecture demonstrations and experiments: (1) a versatile kinetic demonstration; (2) the Bakelite Demonstration; (3) applying Beer's law; and (4) entropy calculations. (HM)

Describes two demonstrations for college level chemistry courses including: "Electrochemical Cells Using Sodium Silicate" and "A Simple, Vivid Demonstration of Selective Precipitation." Lists materials, preparation, procedures, and precautions. (CW)

Details three demonstrations for use in chemistry classrooms. Includes: "A Demonstration of Corrosion by Differential Aeration"; "A Simple Demonstration of the Activation Energy Concept"; and "A Boiling Demonstration at Room Temperature." Each description includes equipment, materials, and methods. (CW)

Provides the methodology put forth by Moore and Kraus to separate Co++ from Ni++ in an 8M HCl solution. Notes that cobalt(II) forms a wide variety of anionic complexes. Points out that as the solutions leave the exchange column the color bands of green, blue, and pink are easily seen. (MVL)

Discusses three broad classes of magnetic behavior: diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic. Presents a simple lecture demonstration using an overhead projector to synthesize triiron tetraoxide and to show its interaction with a magnetic field and comparing it to a paramagnetic material. (MVL)
