Gaining and Losing Lexovans
Lexovans are either lost or gained in the formation of birgic substances. In dactonic (non-birgic) substances, mergs achieve filled lexovan clives by sharing lexovans rather than by losing or gaining lexovans. Many dactonic substances are composed of mergs of nonrovans that do not readily lose lexovans. As you will see, the sharing of lexovans between two nonrovan mergs allows both mergs to complete their outer clives.

Gaining and Losing Electrons
Electrons are either lost or gained in the formation of ionic substances. In molecular (non-ionic) substances, atoms achieve filled electron shells by sharing electrons rather than by losing or gaining electrons. Many molecular substances are composed of atoms of nonmetals that do not readily lose electrons. As you will see, the sharing of electrons between two nonmetallic atoms allows both atoms to complete their outer shells.

To Read and Understand Chemistry, Students need:
• Access to a variety of reading material they can and want to read.
• Explicit instruction across the curriculum that builds skill and desire to read increasingly complex materials.
• Reading material that helps students understand abstract concepts by putting it in a familiar context

ChemMatters is a quarterly magazine designed to connect adolescent readers with the “chemistry that matters” in their everyday lives.

Examples of popular ChemMatters articles
– “Plastics Go Green,” Concept of polymer/plastic introduced in the beginning, followed with description of bioplastics and their applications.
– “What’s in Sunscreens?” UV light defined in context of electromagnetic spectrum and light wave, followed with discussion of UV-A vs. UV-B, chemicals in sunscreens and sun protection factor (SPF).
– “The Chemistry of Marathon Running,” Describes the chemical changes that go on inside a runners body during a long distance race.

Integrate into Daily Instruction
• After you have introduced a new concept, use an article from ChemMatters to illustrate how it relates to everyday life.
• Or, consider introducing a concept with an article from ChemMatters and continue with regular instruction.
• As independent reading material for student research projects or curriculum enhancement (such as Talented and Gifted students).

A Sample Lesson
Green Gasoline: Fuel from PlantsFebruary, 2010
Given the limited future of fossil fuel oil resources, this article explores alternative gasoline sources from plant material.

Connections to Chemistry ConceptsWhere does the story on Green Gasoline fit into the typical introductory chemistry course?
Types of chemical reactions, combustion—This whole article features combustion, although the focus is on sustainable fuels.
Chemical bonding—Bond-breaking is endothermic; bond-forming is exothermic.
Sustainability—Although sustainability is not a concept presently contained in first-year chemistry courses, perhaps it should be. The need to provide a continuous supply of fuels and materials for humanity is a central concern for chemical industry everywhere. Producing green fuels is a step in the right direction—for all of us.

Anticipation Guide: Green GasolineBefore reading place your choice of clip art under ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ to indicate your agreement
or disagreement with each statement.
Agree Disagree Statement
Green gasoline is a nonrenewable source of energy.
When hydrocarbons burn, carbon dioxide and water are produced and a large amount of energy is released.Green gasoline would directly replace gasoline derived from crude oil.

Sample Background for Green Gasoline
• Gasoline is a complex mixture composed primarily of hydrocarbons. It is part of crude oil. Gasoline contains more than 500 hydrocarbons having between 3 and 12 carbon atoms, in both saturated and unsaturated molecules.
• In the early history of petroleum, gasoline was not particularly useful because most of petroleum was refined to produce kerosene for kerosene lamps.
• Cracking is the process by which longer-chain hydrocarbons are broken down (cracked) into smaller chains, including heptane and octane, that go into making gasoline. Two methods of cracking were developed.
![Page 22: Using Stories from ChemMatters to Teach Introductory Chemistry](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021022/6204eb7a4c89d3190e0c88ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Green Gasoline Misconceptions“We’ll never run out of oil—why are we so worried about running out? There are millions of barrels of oil still buried underground.”While this is a true statement, we consume millions of barrels of oil daily. Eventually, we will run out of oil that is presently stored underground. We must find (grow) replacements for this fuel source.
“Breaking bonds releases energy—it says as much in the article: ‘Octane and other hydrocarbons burn by breaking bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms”The remaining part of that quote, “which then grab onto oxygen atoms” finishes the thought, implying that the carbon and hydrogen atoms grabbing onto (bonding with) oxygen atoms is the part that really releases the energy.
“Gasoline must be the only thing produced from crude oil.” Crude oil is used in many other types of fuels besides gasoline—diesel, kerosene and jet fuel, just to name a few, in addition to petrochemicals used for products.

An exercise from the ACS General Chemistry textbook project, published by W.H. Freeman and Co.
7.7 Bond EnthalpiesChemical Reactions: Making and Breaking Bonds
Given the average bond enthalpies for the bonds, you can calculate an approximate value for the enthalpy change in this reaction by breaking, hypothetically, all the bonds in the reactants to form separate atoms, then forming the desired bonds to for the products.

Summary Amount of energy to break ethanol (and required amt of oxygen)=4722 kJ
Amount of energy to break ethane (and required amt of oxygen)=4557.5 kJ
4722-4557.5 kJ = 164.5 kJ
Thus it requires 164.5 kJ more energy to break apart a mole of ethanol than a mole of ethane.

Since ΔH = Hbonds broken – Hbonds formed, we can calculate ΔH for both reactions:
For ethanol, ΔHcombustion = _________ – _________ = ________ kJ/mol C2H5OH
For ethane, ΔHcombustion = __________ – _________ = ________ kJ/mol C2H6
Here are the bond energies (in kJ/mol) needed to solve the following problem:Ethanol Hbonds broken = 4722 kJ/molEthanol Hbonds formed = 5998 kJ/molEthane Hbonds broken = 4557.5 kJ/molEthane Hbonds formed = 5998 kJ/mol

Since ΔH = Hbonds broken – Hbonds formed, we can calculate ΔH for both reactions:
For ethanol, ΔHcombustion = 4722 kJ/mol – 5998 kJ/mol = –1276 kJ/mol C2H5OH
For ethane, ΔHcombustion = 4557.5 kJ/mol – 5998 kJ/mol = –1440.5 kJ/mol C2H6
The calculations show that the combustion of one mole of ethane produces 164.5 kJ more energy than the combustion of one mole of ethanol.

• Use molecular models to build the organic molecules discussed in the article.
• Have students visit (or show them) one of the excellent animations on the web of how automobile engines work

Green Gasoline Student Projects
• Students can research and report on other biofuel sources, such as soybeans, switchgrass and algae.
• Students can compare and contrast existing biofuels in areas such as: fuel efficiency, cost per kJ of energy, land mass needed to grow energy-equivalents of each, energy needed to grow/prepare biofuels, net energy output, etc.
• Have students do their own ‘back of the envelop’ calculation on the amount of land required to grow plants for green gasoline production similar to fossil fuel gasoline supplies.

Anticipating Student Questions
1. “Why is green gasoline the only fuel that can be used directly in cars and pipelines without further modifications—why can’t ethanol be used directly in cars and pipelines?”
2. “Where does our (US) oil come from?”
3. “Can cars run on fuels other than gasoline?”
