Abstract.  Processes of vigorous oxidation are well known to be exothermic, as evidenced be common experience. It could be proved that processes of quite oxidation (rusting of iron and breathing are only two of the many examples) are also exothermic. In the offered demonstration, oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) with pure oxygen is monitored via thermocouple thermometer in a reaction chamber. Temperature increases by more than 15 oC, thus proving that this is another example of quite (yet instantaneous) oxidation.

Abstract.  Botswana is an independent sovereign nation situated in Southern Africa. The nation has recently adopted the policy document “Vision 2016” for its long-term development. All sectors of the country are in process of formulating policies and implementing them to reach the goals, described in this document, by year 2016, the 50th year of the country independence. Major changes have already been taken place in education sector both at secondary and tertiary levels. Both curricula and assessment systems have been reviewed recently. The article gives an overview of the educational system and the current status of chemistry education in Botswana.

Abstract.  The interaction between iodine, iodine monochloride and bromine as s-acceptor and 1,3,5-trithiane as n-donor has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at 25 oC. The results of iodine indicate the formation of complexes [trithianeI+I3-] and [trithianeI+I-] in the low and high trithiane/iodine mol ratios, respectively. These adducts are formed through equilibrium reactions. In the case of iodine monochloride, the 1:4 trithiane to ICl mole ratios and the simultaneous realization of iodine and (ICl)2Cl- through two-equilibrium reactions are confirmed. The possible reactions which produce adducts species are suggested. A bathochromic shift and an increase in the intensity of bromine band through nonequilibrium reaction have been observed in the case of bromine. These observations have been attributed to the partial charge transfer from trithiane to antibonding orbital of bromine. The conductivity measurements indicate that all donor-acceptor adducts are in the form of ion pair. Finally, all of the experiments were repeated at 40 oC and except of curvature of absorbance-mole ratio plots, similar results were obtained.
