Abstract

This paper is motivated by the challenges of chemistry class during the online learning period in developing students’ chemical literacy skills that were found during internship two by the author at a school in North Sulawesi at Senior High School. Based on these activities, it is known that the limitations of students in understanding chemical materials and concepts during online learning pose as a challenge for teachers to carry out the chemistry lessons long distanced. This paper aims to review the development of students’ literacy skills through inquiry-based learning. This paper also aims to examine the implications of chemical literacy in helping Christian teachers guide students to God's wisdom through inquiry-based chemistry’s online learning. The results from this study showed that the chemical literacy skills of students in the school where the author carried out field experience program two activities showed positive results; however, it was not comprehensive. Furthermore, chemical literacy helped Christian teachers observe students’ development in understanding chemical concepts and their relevance to biblical principles. This study concluded that honing chemical literacy skills through inquiry-based online learning can help students be more active in obtaining information. Good chemical literacy skills will help students make decisions based on problems that are always based on biblical principles. The author of this study suggests examining strategies in addition to inquiry-based learning, which can improve student’s chemical literacy skills, especially in online chemistry learning.

Abstract

A simple analyte separation through an in-situ volatilization system in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) container was carried out for boric acid analysis in a food product by spectrophotometry. Separation was conducted in two teflon containers divided into the reagents compartment (outer vessel) and sample compartment (inner vessel). System optimization was done by varying the curcumin content and ethanol: water ratio. The optimum condition of the volatilization system was achieved at a curcumin concentration of 0.1% and ethanol: water ratio of 3:1. LOD and LOQ measurements, respectively, gave a value of 0.0413 mg/L and 0.1088 mg/L. The established method was used to determine boric acid content in sausage products by UV-Vis Spectrophotometry at 555 nm. The boric acid concentration in food samples was found to be 0.913-3.518 mg/kg. The separating method through in-situ volatilization systems in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) container can be used for boric acid analysis in food samples.

Abstract

Rare Earth Metals (REMs) are minerals which needed in modern technology because it has unique chemical, catalytic, electrical and paramagnetic properties, so REMs have the potential to be applied in various fields. The similarity in the physical and chemical properties of REMs causes them to be difficult to separate from their parent minerals. Emulsion Liquid Membrane is an effective and efficient method for REMs purification and separation because in practice it only requires a small amount of solvent, the diffusion rate and mass transfer are high, fast, and simultaneous compared to the solvent extraction method which requires many extraction steps and requires a lot of solvents. In the emulsion liquid membrane method, one of the factors that can determine the success of the extraction process is the selectivity of the ligands/extractants. The extractants must be highly selective against the target REM ions, both in the external aqueous phase and the internal aqueous phase. Therefore, this review aimed to determine the selectivity of various types of extractants such as D2EHPA, Cyanex 302, Cyanex 572, (RO)2P(O)OPh-COOH, Aniline, and TBP on extraction efficiency and stripping efficiency in the separation of rare earth metals through the emulsion liquid membrane method.

Abstract

Cocoa pod shells contain 23-54 % cellulose, 1.14 % hemicellulose, and 20-27.95 % lignin. The high cellulose content in the cocoa pod shell has the potential to be further processed into adsorbents. Before being used as an adsorbent, activation using HCl solution was carried out to increase the adsorption power of the cocoa shell. This research was conducted to analyze the influence of adsorbent dose, pH solution, the efficiency of hard water reduction, and adsorption capacity on Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Adsorption of hard water ions was conducted by varying adsorbent doses of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 g and varying at the pH of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Optimum condition achieved at the mass of 5 g with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions adsorption efficiency of 85.4 and 18.31%, respectively. Optimum condition achieved at the pH of 9 with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions adsorption efficiency of 61.54 and 49.11%, respectively. The highest Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions adsorption capacity was obtained at the adsorbent mass of 1 g with adsorption capacity respectively 4.05 and 0.54 mg/g. The highest Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions adsorption capacity was obtained at a pH of 9 with an adsorption capacity of 4.05 and 0.54 mg/g, respectively.

Abstract

The research is purposed to describe the problem-solving ability of the Senior High School XI grader students in Palu city. The measurement of the problem-solving ability could be determined by solving the exercises of Hydrocarbon and Thermochemistry topics using the Polya’s sequences; consisting of understanding the problem, devising, doing the plan, and evaluating. The ability of students’ problem solving is classified well in every sequence in case of the number of high category students is 60%. The samples are 240 of 507 XI grade students learning chemistry in SMAN 3 and SMA Madani Terpadu in Palu City. The data of problem-solving is determined by providing a test in the form of a validated assay. The result shows the average of XI graders in Palu City only capable of solving the problem without understanding, devising, and evaluating while solving hydrocarbon topics. The ability is not even possessed by students in Thermochemistry. It implies that senior high school students in Palu could not represent the problem in the form of figure, symbol, statement, and mathematics statement or have not been able to devise the problem solving and correlate the obtained result with the related theory or concept. Therefore, the students should be trained to solve the problem in learning by application the problem-solving sequences.

Abstract

Critical thinking is the ability to solve problems through an investigation so as to produce conclusions or rational decisions. This study aimed to obtain an improvement of critical thinking skills of students in Grade XI at SMAN 3 Palu after the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model on Colloid Systems. This study was a pre-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample was run by simple random sampling with the sample of Class XI Science 1 as the replication class 1 (n = 36) and Class XI Science 3 as the replication class 2 (n = 35). Data on students' critical thinking was taken using tests that were given before and after learning. An improvement in students' critical thinking skills in replication class 1 and replication class 2 was by 50%. Data of students' critical thinking skills were tested using non-parametric statistical analysis, namely the Mann-Whitney test. The test results obtained the Zh value -0.076, so -1.96 ≤ -0.076 ≤ +1.96. This result is in the reception area of Ho, and H1 is rejected. It means that the average score of critical thinking ability of students in the replication class 1 is the same as in replication class 2. This study concluded that the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model on Colloid Systems improves the critical thinking skills of students in Grade XI at SMAN 3 Palu.
