Color fading in Vincent van Gogh's Undergrowth with Two Figures was studied chemically to facilitate the creation of a digital reconstruction fugitive colors . The painting contains field white, green, orange, and yellow flowers under canopy poplar trees two central figures-a man woman, arms entwined. From Van letters, however, it is known that he painted picture some pink flowers, which appear have altered, presumably white. Raman spectroscopy applied microsamples paint identify faded...
Climate change is a critical scientific and social issue of our time, yet the topic not frequently discussed by general public. Additionally, misconceptions about persist. One important aspect climate greenhouse effect. This activity adds gas discussion to an existing module molecular shape modeling. The links effect change. has been used in several introductory chemistry settings. A student-generated answers student-reported learning gains presented.
A mnemonic device, the energy pie, is presented that provides relationships between thermodynamic potentials (U, H, G, and A) other sets of variables carry units, TS PV. Methods are also in which differential expressions for corresponding Maxwell relations follow from pie.
The transition to a remote teaching and learning environment was quick painful at times, yet it experience for everyone. chemists Centre College utilized new (to them) technology reimagine the typical face interactions with students colleagues. From Slack Pear Deck Zoom classrooms, faculty engaged variety of platforms continue learn remotely despite challenges global pandemic. learned value utilizing different types technology, some important skills content.
Transition state theory (TST), also called activated complex theory, is often discussed in general chemistry and physical courses when learning kinetics. This demonstration takes the abstract concepts of transition state, activation energy, reaction progress (reaction coordinate) makes them more concrete accessible. The uses a children's toy (Hoberman Switch Pitch) to model chemical that follows reactant through before making product. progress, specific geometry are as part question answer...
