Reports the results of a survey of university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and secondary school science teachers concerning the meanings of common chemical reaction terms. Some disagreement was noted. (CP)

Indicates some of the information that may be obtained from a binary solid-liquid phase equilibria experiment and a method to write a computer program that will plot an ideal phase diagram to which the experimental results may be compared. (Author/CP)

Presents an experiment for a physical chemistry course designed expecially for students majoring in the life sciences. (SL)

Reviews legislation and controls in effect, and needed, to reduce the hazards of violent reactions in the uncontrolled mixing of incompatible chemicals. (SL)

Describes a U.S.-Egyptian workshop for chemists held in Cairo to formulate research, development, and education projects between the two countries. (SL)

Intelligence test scores were found to predict achievement in high school chemistry more accurately than the Piaget-derived Longeot Test Scores. However, the construct measured by the Longeot is more clearly defined than the construct measured by the intelligence test. In this respect, the Longeot measure may be preferable to the intelligence…

Discusses a study showing that job offers in 1975-76 to candidates with bachelor's degrees in chemistry were 11 percent higher and in chemical engineering 3 percent higher than in 1974-75. Job offers also increased for women and for candidates with graduate degrees. (MLH)

Presents a method of adopting a pH meter for overhead projection. (SL)

Describes an approach to balancing chemical equations which help students avoid several common errors. (SL)

Presents results of a survey of New Mexico colleges and secondary schools rating expectations of graduates of secondary level chemistry courses. (SL)

Presents a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic equation dE = TdS - PdV to illustrate how chemistry teachers may present chemical potential by a route free from the terrors of partial derivatives. (MR)

A computational method is described for analyzing first-order kinetic data obtained at arbitrary time intervals. The method has uses in research and undergraduate instruction as well. (MR)

Because of their interest and expertise in the analysis of drugs in biological fluids, analytical pharmaceutical chemists can contribute significantly to interdisciplinary research and teaching efforts. Suggestions for such efforts are described. (Author/LBH)

Discusses the energy levels of 3d and 4s electrons. (SL)

Describes the historical development of chemical formulas. (SL)
