The demonstrations capture interest, teach, inform, fascinate, amaze, and perhaps, most importantly, involve students in chemistry. Nowhere else will you find books that answer, "How come it happens? . . . Is it safe? . . . What do I do with all the stuff when the demo is over?"
Shakhashiri and his collaborators offer 282 chemical demonstrations arranged in 11 chapters. Each demonstration includes seven sections: a brief summary, a materials list, a step-by-step account of procedures to be used, an explanation of the hazards involved, information on how to store or dispose of the chemicals used, a discussion of the phenomena displayed and principles illustrated by the demonstration, and a list of references.

Review of Volume 2, "Chemical Demonstrations" by Shakhashiri,
By James Hill "jimh" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chemical Demonstrations : A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry Vol 2 (Hardcover)
Since the other reviews are all referencing Volume 1 of this renowned four-volume set, I thought I would post a review of Volume 2.
Volume 2 offers a total of 69 demonstrations related to the properties and behavior of gases and amazing oscillating chemical reactions. Because these books are a set, this volume begins with Chapter 5, which offers 26 demonstrations of the PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR OF GASES. Chapter 6 provides 29 examples of the CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF GASES. Demonstrations include Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Dioxide, Methane, Hydrogen Chloride, Ammonia, and Chlorine. Chapter 7 reveals 14 OSCILLATING CHEMICAL REACTIONS, including the classic Zhabotinsky Bromate-Malonic Acid reaction and seven additional variations on this theme. Each demonstration is completely discussed with the intent of allowing for easy replication of the demonstration.
