Topic	Chapter-Section	Name of Videodisc Demonstration	Description
Gases	1a	Combustion of Methane Balloons	Ignition of balloons containing methane and methane + oxygen
			Density differences
			Stoichiometry
			Balanced equation
	7a	Preparation and Combustion of Acetylene	Calcium carbide lumps are dropped into a beaker of water. Bubbles of acetylene are produced. Acetylene is ignited to produce a sooty flame.
	7a	Preparation and Combustion of Acetylene	Equation
	7b	Spontaneous Combustion of Acetylene in Chlorine	Acetylene produced from reaction of calcium carbide and chlorine water bursts into flame and produces a copious amount of soot
	7b	Spontaneous Combustion of Acetylene in Chlorine	Combustion Reaction
Solids and Liquids	3a-d	Relationship of Structure to Boiling Point of Alkanes	Shows boiling point of straight chain alkanes containing 5 to 10 carbon atoms
			Shows boiling point of 5 isomers of C6H14
			Data can be graphed to illustrate effect of Van der Waals attraction on boiling point
			molecular models of all compounds shown
	9b	Polarized Light and Organic Molecules	Demonstration of polarized filters and polarimeter
			When plane polarized white light is passed through a cylinder of aqueous sucrose, a spiral rainbow of color is observed
			Rainbow images of plastic objects under polarized light
			Polarization of liquid crystal display of a calculator
	13c	Extraction of 2,6- dichloroindophenol	Demonstrates use of separatory funnel
			Acid/base chemistry
			immiscible liquids
			polar and nonpolar forces
	13f	Purple Benzene	The ionic solid potassium permanganate does not dissolve in nonpolar benzene. A crown ether complexes with the potassium ion to produce a purple solution.
			Molecular model of crown ether
			Crown ethers discovered by Charles Peterson who received Nobel Prize in 1987.
	15c	Hydrophobic Effect	Two Petri dishes with water are dusted with lycopodium powder. A drop of nonpolar mineral oil leaves the powder undisturbed. A drop of polar oleic acid pushes the powder to the sides of dishes as the acid spreads across the surface.
			A drop of oleic acid on water breaks up when treated with NaOH.
			Polar and nonpolar liquids
