The chemistry club met last night and performed some fun reactions. The first reaction involves the dehydration of sugar.
C12H22O11 + 11H2SO4 12C + H3O+ + 11HSO4.
Another reaction was the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by iodide. (Some food coloring was added to make things interesting.
2H2O2 + I- OI- + H2O H2O2 + OI- I- + H2O + O2.

Dehydration of sugar.
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
School celebrated Pi-day late this year. Students got the opportunity to throw pies at teachers. And us teachers got to return the favor.
Distillation of a butyl acetate and ethyl acetate mixture.
Students learn to distill a mixture of acetates. Chemicals with substantially different boiling points can be separated by a simple distillation. However, when boiling points are similar, multiple distillations may be required for full separation. Alternatively, fractional distillation, as seen in this picture, can used.
The head of the science department started a no-heat cooking club. I was invited to help students make dry-ice ice cream. Students made vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. The head of science was gracious enough to pass the torch along to me next semester.
Students operate a gas chromatograph.

Students learn the theory behind chromatography and how to use a gas chromatograph.
