Tsionsky, Vladimir – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The study explains the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) technique, which is often used as an undergraduate laboratory experiment for measuring the mass of a system. QCM can be used as a mass sensor only when the measured mass is rigidly attached to the surface.

Poock, Jason R.; Burke, K. A.; Greenbowe, Thomas J.; Hand, Brian M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The analysis describes the effects of using the science writing heuristic (SWH) in the general chemistry laboratory on the students' academic performance. The technique has found to be extremely important factor in a student's learning process and achievement in science.

Cumberbatch, Tanya; Hanley, Quentin S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The process of quantitative imaging, which is very commonly used in laboratory, is shown to be very useful for studying the fast kinetics and fluorescence quenching of many experiments. The imaging technique is extremely cheap and hence can be used in many absorption and luminescence experiments.

Tsionsky, Vladimir – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The fundamentals, as well as the instrumentation of the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) technique that is used in an undergraduate laboratory experiment are being described. The QCM response can be easily used to change the properties of any system.

Cuadros, Jordi; Yaron, David; Leinhardt, Gaea – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The learning opportunities that the students had in a general chemistry college course is analysed to build a model of science learning at the college level. The results suggest that authentic and contextualized home work can improve the learning in college classrooms.

Ingersoll, Christine M.; Strollo, Christen M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The steady-state fluorescence anisotropy is employed to study the binding of protein of a model protein, human serum albumin, to a commonly used flavonoid, quercetin. The experiment describes the thermodynamics, as well as the biochemical interactions of such binding effectively.

Tsionsky, Vladimir – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
Various water-alcohol and alcohol-alcohol based experiments are used to demonstrate how the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) technique is used for measuring the viscosity of a system. The technique is very advantageous, as it is inexpensive and provides digital output.

Davis, Michael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The study demonstrates the induction of one-dimensional standing waves, called "natural-harmonics" on a guitar to provide a unique tone. The analysis shows that a normally complex vibration is composed of a number of simple and discrete vibrations.

Mattson, Bruce – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
A microscale classroom demonstration of the paramagnetic behavior of various samples of liquid oxygen with neodymium magnet is being presented. The experiment should be done with extreme caution, as liquid oxygen reacts violently with organic matters.

Hirsch, Warren; Kobrak, Mark – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The study describes the Lewis structure representation of various free radicals, which are quite similar to the ClO radical and its isoelectronic analogues. The analysis of the periodic trends of these radicals shows that oxygen is the most electronegative atom among them.

Najdoski, Metodija; Mirceski, Valentin; Petrusevski, Vladimir M.; Demiri, Sani – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The mercury beating heart (MBH) is a commonly performed experiment, which is based on varying oxidizing agents and substituting other metals for iron. Various modified versions of the classical demonstration of the experiment are presented.
