Abstract

Mercury metal (Hg) is included in the heavy metal group which is toxic because it has neurotoxin properties for living things. As a heavy metal, mercury (Hg) will be difficult to decompose if it enters the waters, mercury (Hg) will also form deposits in sediments. Mercury is found in nature and is found in soil, water and air. Mercury is rarely found in its free form in nature but is in the form of cinnabar (HgS) seeds. Mercury metal is usually easy to find in mining areas, such as in gold mining areas. Gold mining is one of the activities that can increase people's income, but gold mining can be detrimental if in its implementation it is not followed by a good gold processing waste treatment process. The method used in this research is cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results obtained in this study are the metal content of miner 1 as many as 3 samples. Sample 1 has a concentration of 1.2594 ppm; sample 2 has a concentration of 0.4924 ppm; and sample 3 has a concentration of 0.2091 ppm. Miner 2 as many as 3 samples of which sample 1 has a concentration of 1.0260 ppm; sample 2 has a concentration of 0.3401 ppm; and sample 3 has a concentration of 0.3152 ppm. And miner 3 has 3 samples where sample 1 has a concentration of 0.7215 ppm; sample 2 has a concentration of 0.2464 ppm; and sample 3 has a concentration of 0.3461 ppm. The results obtained from the calculation of metal concentrations of mercury (Hg) show that the water of the Janja river has been contaminated with heavy metals, namely mercury (Hg). This is due to mining in the Janja river.

Abstract

To test the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of balaroa leaves (Kleinhovia hospita L) using the compound DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pikrilhidrazil) as a provider of free radicals. This study aims to describe the strong, moderate or weak antioxidant activity of balaroa leaf extract. Balaroa leaf powder was extracted by maceration using absolute ethanol as a solvent. Testing the antioxidant activity of balaroa leaf extract was carried out with various concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm, and 100 ppm. The antioxidant activity of balaroa leaf extract was analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 517 nm. The results obtained showed that the IC50 value of balaroa leaf extract was 145.211 ppm while the vitamin C reference solution was 4.909 ppm. Based on the IC50 value data, it can be determined that the ethanol extract of balaroa leaves is a moderate antioxidant.

Abstract

Understanding the concept is a process in which students are able to understand the information obtained, both the definition, nature and description of a concept so that they are able to construct the concept. Self Efficacy is the ability of individuals to organize the actions needed for certain achievements. This study aims to (1) describe students' conceptual understanding of atomic structure material and the periodic system of elements. (2) describe student self-efficacy in atomic structure material and the periodic system of elements. The type of research used in this study was descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The instruments used in this study were three-tier questions and self-efficacy questionnaires. This research was conducted at SMAN 4 Palu in class X MIPA students. The results showed that students' understanding of concepts in atomic structure material and the periodic system of elements averaged the percentage of students who understood the concept of 34.35% classified as understanding the concept of the low category, students who did not understand the concept of 24.1% were in the low category while students who experienced a misconception of 41.35% in the sufficient category. The results of student self-efficacy research show that student self-efficacy is good because most are in the high category of 45 students (75%), the sufficient category is 15 students (25%).

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the antioxidant activity based on the effect of fermentation variation time of cocoa pulp kombucha drink (Theobroma cacao L.). The sample used in this study is cocoa pulp obtained from yellow cocoa pods the plantation in Sibualong Village, Balaesang District, Donggala Regency. DPPH method is used to see the reduction of free radical occurs caused by antioxidant compounds in fermented cocoa pulp kombucha drink. Antioxidant activity absorbances measured by UV/Vis will be calculated by regretion equation. The value obtained from the regretion equation shows the IC50 value, if the IC50 value is below 50 ppm it indicates a very strong antioxidant activity and if the IC50 value is above 200 ppm it indicates a very weak antioxidant activity. The study show, there to effect of fermentation variation time of the antioxidant activity which is identified by the increasing of IC50. The study shows, there to effect of fermentation variation time of the antioxidant activity which is identified by the increasing of IC50, with IC¬50 values 3rd, 10th and 14th days respectively are 29,387 ppm, 322,404 ppm, and 215,298 ppm. So the best fermentation time is 3 days which shows the IC50 value less than 50 ppm so that the antioxidant activity is included in the very good category.

Abstract

Chayote or Sechium edule is one of Indonesia's plants and is a potential food commodity to be used as the main ingredient for product development, chayote is a plant that lives in tropical and sub-tropical areas. This study aims to determine the antioxidant content of fruit, flour and chayote biscuits using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Analysis of the antioxidant content in this research is using the DPPH method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil) as a source of free radicals. Fruit extract, flour and chayote biscuits were analyzed for their antioxidant content with various concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm, 100 ppm. The results obtained that raw chayote fruit extract has a very weak antioxidant content with an average IC50 value of 256,723 ppm, chayote flour has a moderate antioxidant content with an average value of IC50 140,999 and chayote biscuits has a weak antioxidant content with the average value of IC50 is 179.619 ppm
