Nonlinear chemical reactions produce interesting chemohydrodynamic patterns in an unstirred medium, which act as interesting demonstrations to display the novel phenomena in a nonequilibrium chemical system. Here, we report new outreach experiments: pH chemohydrodynamic patterns modulated by sodium polyacrylate in the bromate-sulfite-ferrocyanide…

Road map problems ask students to integrate their knowledge of organic reactions with pattern recognition skills to "fill in the blanks" in the synthesis of an organic compound. Students are asked to identify familiar organic reactions in unfamiliar contexts. A practical context, such as a medicinally useful target compound, helps…
