Page 280 Police officers who suspect a person of drunk driving will ask them to take a Breathalyser™ test by blowing into a small hand-held device. This device estimates a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which is based on a colour change that occurs when alcohol in the driver’s breath reacts with an acidic aqueous solution of potassium dichromate. What is the balanced equation for this reaction and why are stoichiometry calculations important? Research the answers to these questions and develop a diagram illustrating how the Breathalyser™ device works. Present this information as a poster.

Page 500 Battery makers have been challenged to make batteries smaller, lighter, longer lasting, and more powerful. In March 2003, Dalhousie University established a Research Chair in Battery and Fuel Cell Materials. The university’s new laboratory is one of the few in the world equipped to use a new mode of research developed in 1995, called combinatorial materials synthesis (CMS). CMS rapidly shortens the time needed to test new combinations of materials by uncovering thousands of distinct compositions in a single experiment. Chief researcher Jeffery Dahn is applying CMS methods to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries and produce cells large enough to power electric vehicles. How does CMS allow for the testing of so many materials at one time? | ||

Page 503 To remember the sign of the charge on the cathode in the two different types of cells (voltaic cells versus electrolytic cells), remember that electrons always leave the cathode and a reduction half-reaction occurs there. In a voltaic cell, the spontaneous chemical reaction “pulls” the electrons off the cathode leaving it positively charged. In an electrolytic cell, the external source of electrical energy “pushes” electrons onto the cathode making it negatively charged. This negatively charged cathode then “pushes” electrons onto the compound in solution, causing a reduction half-reaction to occur. | ||

Page 611 Polymer recycling is becoming increasingly widespread across Canada. Use the Internet and other sources of information to find answers to the following questions:
| ||
| Recycling Plastic Polymers from Hands-On Chemistry | ||
| This web site presents an investigation involving the recycling of plastics. The discussion starts with some facts about the amount of
plastics that reach landfills. A listing of the symbols for the different types of polymers that can be recycled is followed by descriptions of the uses of
recycled plastics. A teacher demonstration is then described. ( http://www.csun.edu/~vceed002/BFI/lessons/recycling_plastics.html ) |
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Chemical of the Week | ||
| This web site lists a wide variety of polymers and describes their common uses. It then discusses rules for recycling these
polymers. ( http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/CHEMWEEK/POLYMERS/Polymers.html ) |
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Scientific Principles: Polymers | ||
| This web page reviews the chemistry and structure of polymers. A discussion on the challenges that polymers present to society follows.
Finally there is a discussion about the way in which a variety of polymers can be recycled. ( http://matse1.mse.uiuc.edu/polymers/prin.html ) |
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Plastic Recycling | ||
| This web site discusses many problems related to polymer recycling. ( http://www.lotfi.net/recycle/plastic.html ) |

Should the compound be tested to see if it is carcinogenic before manufacturers starting using it? What are some possible benefits and drawbacks in allowing the novel compound to be used right away? 3.

the solution containing a weak acid and why this buffers the pH of the solution. ( http://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/biological%20anamations.html ) |
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Buffered Solution | ||
| This animation allows you to make a buffer and then measure the pH as you add various amounts of a variety of acids or bases. You can
choose the buffer components, molarity, and volume. You then choose the acid or base and the volume to add. You click to insert or remove pH probes and the
pH meter registers the measured pH. ( http://www.chem.iastate.edu/group/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/acidbasepH/... ) |
