  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the students' conceptions about the reaction rate changes during the chemical equilibrium shifts and also whether the questions about basic concepts of the reaction rate are helpful for the students' understanding of reaction rate changes during the chemical equilibrium shifts. The subjects were 100 students in the 12th grade. The questionnaires were composed of A, B, and A' set, which had to be answered sequentially. The A set consisted of questions asking the change of reaction rate when chemical equilibrium was shifted, the B set was to testify the basic concepts of the reaction rate, and the A' set was the same as the A set. The results showed that the students' understanding of the reverse reaction rate change was lower than that of the forward reaction rate change during the equilibrium shift. Also it was found that students' understanding of the reaction rate change caused by adding the reactant was fairly good while their understanding of the reaction rate change caused by temperature increment was very poor. Since the students marked very high scores in the B set questions, their poor understanding for the reaction rate changes during the equilibrium shifts was not seemed to be due to the lacks of the basic knowledge of reaction rate. Instead, it was due to the failure of applying the basic knowledge of reaction rate to the changes of reaction conditions. It was also found that the average scores of A' set were statistically higher than those of A set. It means the B set items were helpful for the students to solve the A' set items. These results evidenced the possibility of set questionnaires could help the students to connect the related concepts in solving the problems.

  • To investigate the surface state of $Mg_2Ni$ which was exposed to the air, a chemical treatment was undertaken with $H_2SO_4$ solution. During chemical treatment, the change of pH was measured continuously and the chemically treated specimen was hydrided to study the effect of chemical treatment on the hydrogenation. The pH changing behavior with the various $H_2SO_4$ concentration appeared very diffemrently. Especially in the solution including 3CC $H_2SO_4$, the behavior of pH change can be divided 3 steps. It is also shown that the $Mg_2Ni$ chemically treated with $H_2SO_4$ can be hydrided even under room temperature. By the SEM observation the was reasion that after chemical treatment the surface of a particle was covered with Ni layer.

  • In this paper, we fabricated a electro-chemical discharge machine for drilling microscopic glass hole. In this research, we used a glass plate and NaOH solution. From the experimental result, we knew that the change of voltage wave was caused by drilling microscopic hole of glass using electro-chemical discharge method. So, we can give a function of the power auto stop to electro-chemical discharge machine with the change of voltage wave.

  • Squarylium or squaraine dyes are derived from 1,2-dihydroxycyclobuten-3,4-dione, otherwise known as squaric acids. They are two principal types: the 1,2-bisdonorsubstituted derivatives, and the 1,3-bisdonorsubstituted derivatives. The former are essentially merocyanines and have no distinctive properties, whereas the latter represent a unique type of chromophore, which is neither a merocyanines nor cyanine and has exceptional light absorption characteristics. They also have many functional applications based on their special properties. Thus it was the objective of this research project to synthesize a range of 1,3-squarylium dyes of widely differing structural types, and to investigate their light absorption and fluorescence properties in general, and the color change properties of appropriate examples in particular. Also in this study, the various pHinduced colour change processes were examined.

  • Polystyrene nanocapsules containing octadecane as a core material were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The morphology and size of the nanocapsules were measured with varying the surfactant concentration, content of initiator, core/shell ratio and content of comonomer. The morphologies of the prepared nanoparticles were examined by a scanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope and the core material was confirmed by a differential scanning calorimeter. The particles below 70 nm in diameter were formed at a high surfactant concentration. The size of the nanoparticles was not significantly affected by the initiator content. With increasing the core/shell ratio and polar comonomer content, the particle size and its distribution were increased.

  • A new diarylethene compound with donor and acceptor substituent was synthesized from 2,3-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-3-yl)hexafluorocyclopentene (BTF) over 5 steps. The donor-acceptor structured BTF compound (TBTFE) showed spectral change to a longer wavelength through photochromism with a high cyclization quantum yield (0.56). The 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (T) and carboethoxy (E) groups directly connected to BTF unit promoted electrical change accompanied with the photoisomerization of the BTF unit. Photo-induced electrical switching was achieved from a photocell containing TBTFE doped polymer film, which showed reversible and stable current change over repeated cycles by the alternative UV/Vis irradiation, as estimated by the I-V plot.

  • Physico-chemical properties of methyl 5-hydroxy-dinaphtho[1,2-2',3'] furan-7,12-dione-6-carboxylate(MHDDC) were examined. The yellowish color of the solution at pH 8 below changes to a bluish color when the solution is basified to pH 10 above. This color change was presumed to a change of the molecular structure from a quinoid-type to a quinoid-type with the dissociation to the hydroxyl group as shown in chart 1.
