Discusses some physical principals that can be used to understand the proper ties of Portland cement and concrete. (HM)

Describes how the potential energy diagram may be used to theoretically describe the processes involved in a system undergoing electron transfer. Examines factors important in electron transfer reactions and discusses several classes of electron transfer reactions. (CS)

Describes a method to aid undergraduates in their understanding of quantum theory. Presents a numerical self-consistent field calculation on a one-dimensional model for the helium atom. (CS)

Presents questions and answers about the fluoridation of water regarding the compounds added to drinking water in the fluoridation process, how raw water is tested for fluoride content, and how fluoride reacts with tooth enamel. (CS)

Describes an experiment with Orange II to illustrate a central idea of thermodynamics--the amount of work that must be done to bring about a particular transformation depends not only on the energy content of the initial and final states but also on the degrees of dispersion of those states. (CS)

Describes a general chemistry experiment involving gas law calculations, utilizing Alka Seltzer as a source of carbon dioxide. (CS)
