Abstract

Zn2+ metal ions are heavy metals that are essential for the growth and development of organisms but if the amount of zinc (Zn) in excess can be toxic and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. This research aims to study the electrochemical response of Ag/PLE to detect Zn2+ metal ions and determine the optimum conditions of supporting electrolyte and supporting electrolyte pH for the measurement of Zn2+ metal ions. In this study, electrochemical method was used to detect Zn2+ metal ion. The electrode was modified with a thin layer of silver by electrodeposition with the cyclic voltammetry method. The results showed that Ag/PLE gave a better response than PLE in detecting Zn2+ metal ions with acetate buffer solution with pH 4 as supporting electrolyte and optimum pH.

Abstract

Thiamphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works similarly to chloramphenicol.Thiamphenicol is formulated as a dry syrup because it is unstable in water, where the amide group can undergo hydrolysis. This study aimed to determine the impact of temperature and storage time on the drug content in thiamphenicol dry syrup. The study involved physical stability testing by observing organoleptic changes and pH testing. Chemical stability was assessed by measuring drug content using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) with a mobile phase of aquabides and methanol (4:1). The sample preparation involved storing thiamphenicol dry syrup for 7 days at room temperature (15 - 30ºC) and cold temperature (2 - 8ºC). The results indicated that temperature and storage time did not affect the physical stability during the storage period. However, a significant decrease in drug content was observed: at room temperature, a reduction of 37,20% in sample 1 and 54,57% in sample 2; at cool temperature and at cold temperature, a reduction of 29,73% in sample 1 and 24,73% in sample 2. Statistical analysis using One Way ANOVA showed significant values of 0.000 < 0.05 for sample 1 and 0.001 < 0.05 for sample 2, indicating that temperature differences significantly affect the thiamphenicol content. The results demonstrate that temperature and storage time have a significant impact on the chemical stability of thiamphenicol dry syrup.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' understanding of the concept of colligative properties of solutions in chemistry learning. The research method used is a quantitative method with data collection techniques through a dare questionnaire distributed using Google Form. The research subjects consisted of students of Medan State University who had studied the topic of colligative properties of solutions. The questionnaire used contained a series of closed and open questions to measure the level of students' understanding, including conceptual aspects, applications in daily life, and difficulties faced in understanding the material. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using descriptive tests to determine the distribution of students' understanding, as well as correlation tests to see the relationship between certain factors, such as academic background and learning resources used. The results showed that the level of students' understanding varied, with most students having a moderate understanding of the concept of colligative properties of solutions. Factors that contributed to this level of understanding included the teaching method used, the availability of learning resources, and students' learning motivation. The main challenge faced by students was in understanding the concepts of osmotic pressure and freezing point depression. These findings have an impact on improving chemistry learning strategies, especially in the use of more interactive and contextual methods to help students understand the concept of colligative properties of solutions more deeply.

Abstract

Sweet orange peel (Citrus sinensis L.) is an agricultural by-product with promising potential as a natural raw material for hand sanitizer due to its bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids, known for their antibacterial properties. This study investigates the influence of two extraction methods—infusion and maceration—using peel weights ranging from 10–50 g, on the characteristics and quality of hand sanitizer formulations. The products were evaluated through pH, density, drying time, organoleptic properties, skin irritation, flavonoid identification, and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli using the disc diffusion method. Results showed that maceration yielded a more intense brick-red color at 40 g and 50 g, while infusion produced only a concentrated yellow extract. All formulations exhibited pH values within the safe skin range (4.5–6.5), density of 0.86–0.90 g/mL, and drying times of 14–22 seconds. No irritation was observed in skin tests, and panelist acceptance was higher in formulations containing 30–50 g peel. However, none of the hand sanitizer formulations inhibited E. coli growth (0 mm), in contrast to the positive control (Ciprofloxacin 100 ppm), which produced a 31.55 mm inhibition zone. The lack of activity is likely due to the Gram-negative nature of E. coli, low flavonoid concentrations, limited gel diffusion, and compound degradation.

Abstract

Mandau District is located in the city of Duri, Riau Province, and is an area experiencing rapid economic growth based on household-scale industries. One of the growing micro-enterprises is the tofu industry, which generates liquid waste. The liquid waste from the tofu industry is characterized by a high content of organic matter, COD, and total nitrogen (Ntotal), which, if not properly treated, can seep into the ground and contaminate the groundwater layer. The aim of this study is to analyze the physical and chemical quality of groundwater and assess its feasibility as a source of drinking water. The method used in this research involves field sampling of groundwater using purposive sampling, followed by laboratory analysis. The parameters tested include color, taste, odor, TDS, EC, pH, COD, and Ntotal. The results of the physical and chemical analysis of groundwater at 20 stations in the study area show that all stations (100%) have clear water; all stations (100%) have tasteless groundwater; 19 stations (95%) have odorless groundwater and 1 station (5%) has odorous groundwater; all stations (100%) have TDS values < 500 mg/l; EC values range from 31 to 280 µS/cm; pH values range from 7,69 - 7,83; 19 stations (95%) have COD values < 10 mg/l and 1 station (5%) has COD > 10 mg/l; and Ntotal values range from 0,6 - 3 mg/l. Based on drinking water quality standards, none of the stations meet the requirements for potable water; however, the groundwater can still be used for purposes such as bathing and washing.
