Abstract

Honesty and responsibility should be a principle held by students. But, there are still problems of dishonesty and irresponsibility of students during exams. This study aimed to analyze the honesty and responsibility character of chemistry students during exams. The research samples were 39 students. Data were collected by observation and interviews technique, by using observation and questionnaires sheets. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the honesty and responsibility of chemistry students were in the sufficient category where the percentage of honesty and responsibility of students based on the observation sheets was 43.6% and 49%, respectively. While the questionnaire responsibility students were 46.2% and 43.6%, respectively.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' conceptions of reaction rate topics using the three-tier multi-representation test. Based on the characteristics of reaction rates concepts that involve the understanding of multiple representations, it is essential to analyze student conceptions that include multiple representations, namely macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. A three-tier diagnostic test can be done to assess students' conceptions, with the questions given in the first tier presented with macroscopic, microscopic, or symbolic representations according to the characteristics of the concept in question. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method conducted at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. The subjects of this study were 50 students consisting of 28 female students and 22 male students. It was determined by random sampling technique. Instrumentation used a three-tier representation test with 15 multiple-choice questions. Validation of instruments showed that the questions were feasible and fell into the high category. The findings reveal that only 29 % of students know the concept, categorized as low. Additionally, 40 % of students were identified as having misconceptions, placing them within the medium category, while 31 % of students exhibited not knowing the concept, also classified in the medium category. Symbolic representation emerged as the most challenging representation for students, with 35 % failing to comprehend it, categorized as medium. Furthermore, among students with misconceptions, symbolic and macroscopic representations were the most problematic, collectively accounting for 34 %, also classified as medium. These results underscore the need for targeted instructional strategies to address specific areas of difficulty and improve overall conceptual understanding.

Abstract

Salak seeds have a reasonably high cellulose content. This suggests that salak seeds can be used as a raw material for producing activated charcoal to refine used cooking oil. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of refining used cooking oil using active charcoal adsorbents derived from Salacca zalacca seeds. The methods used to determine free fatty acid levels and peroxide values are the acid-base and iodometric titration methods. This study will observe several variables that affect the adsorption process, namely the mass of activated charcoal and the contact time of used cooking oil. The results showed a decrease in free fatty acids and peroxide number, and the colour of the oil became brighter with increasing adsorbent and contact time. The best results were obtained at a mass of 15 grams and an adsorption time of 120 minutes. Based on the quality requirements for cooking oil as specified in SNI 3741-1995.

Abstract

Cocoa Fruit Peel Waste MCC 01 Clone (Theobroma cacao L.) is a traditional medicinal plant with tannins that can be utilized as an anti-bacterial because it contains phenol groups and has antiseptic properties. This study aims to determine the type of tannin compound and the tannin content in cocoa fruit peel waste extract. The maceration method was used to extract the extract using 70% ethanol as a solvent. Qualitative test of tannin type was conducted using C2H4O2 10%, C2H3O2 10%, HCl, FeCl3, and KBr, while quantitative test was conducted using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 765 nm. The qualitative test results to determine the type of tannins obtained from cocoa fruit peel waste indicate that it contains hydrolyzed tannins. In the quantitative test, the average tannin content was 4.73 mg/g extract.

Abstract

This study aims to identify learning difficulties learning experienced by students on the subject thermochemistry in class XI IPA SMA Negeri 8 Palu during the Covid-19 pandemic for the 2021 / 2022 school year. The instruments used in this study are thermochemistry tests, questionnaires, and interviews. The result showed students’ difficulties in the subject thermochemistry in class XI IPA was 60 %, the highest difficulty of students is found in the thermochemistry test of calculating the heat of the type of compound, calculating enthalpy changes, and formulating steps and hypotheses of an experiment. The difficulty is indicated by the low level of student comprehension of 54 %, medium 43 %, and high 3 % with an average of 30%. Furthermore, the difficulty of students in participating in chemistry learning during the Covid-19 pandemic is technical difficulties with a percentage of 65.92 %, difficulties in implementing learning with a percentage 0f 65.44 %, and external difficulties (environment and parents) with a percentage of 52.92 %. based on these results, the learning difficulties experienced by students during chemistry learning thermochemistry subjects during the Covid-19 pandemic include students often being constrained by signals and quotas to access materials on the internet and do not have student handbooks to study at home, difficulty understanding chemistry concepts because teacher explanations are elusive, students are not active in participating in learning because chemistry learning during the pandemic is not interesting, can’t afford chemistry books and quotas also parents don’t provide motivation and students are often lazy to do assignments because no one helps with doing. The result of this study indicates that the level of students' difficulties learning about thermochemistry is a quite high category with a low level of student ability and students agree that it is difficult to study chemistry during the pandemic Covid-19.

Abstract

Clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum) contains 80–90% eugenol. Eugenol is a pale yellow liquid with several active functional groups, such as hydroxyl, aromatic rings, and allyl groups, which allow it to be modified to produce various eugenol derivative compounds. This study aims to characterize eugenol epoxy resin synthesized from clove oil eugenol using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) as a catalyst. The resulting eugenol epoxide was in the form of a yellowish-white gel with a distinctive clove aroma. It was soluble in benzene and chloroform but insoluble in ethanol. FTIR analysis showed that the epoxy compound contained an ether group (C-O-C) at absorption peaks of 1266.07 cm⁻¹ to 1018.66 cm⁻¹, a hydroxyl group (─OH) at 3347.08 cm⁻¹, a methyl group (-CH₃) at 1470 cm⁻¹ to 1350 cm⁻¹, an alkene group (C=C) at 1637.39 cm⁻¹, and a vinyl group at 910.2 cm⁻¹.
