Abstract

Antioxidant activity test of Ethanol Extract of Ripe and Young Cocoa Pod Skin (Theobroma Cacao L.) with DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) using UV-Vis spectrophotometer has been carried out. This study aimed to determine the IC50 value of the ethanol extract of ripe cocoa pods and young cocoa pods (Theobroma Cacao L.). The mature and young cocoa pods were extracted using absolute ethanol solvent and tested for their antioxidant activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The concentration variations used in the ethanol extract of ripe cocoa pods and young cocoa (Theobroma Cacao L.) were 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm. The results showed that the IC50 values of the ethanol extract of ripe and young cocoa pods were 76.094 ppm and 91.884 ppm, respectively. Meanwhile, the IC50 value of vitamin C compared was 63.519 ppm. Based on the IC50 value data above, it can be seen that the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of young cocoa pods and ripe cocoa pods are potent antioxidants.

Abstract

Varied initial concepts can be an obstacle or support in understanding a new concept. The study of changes in students' chemical concepts was carried out on thermochemical material. This study aimed to examine changes in students' thermochemical concepts in each subject of high, medium, and low ability. Qualitative descriptive research with mixed methods was conducted on SMAN 1 Bumi Raya Morowali, Central Sulawesi students. The study began by giving an initial test to all students of class XI IPA 1 and 2, as many as 60 students, to obtain initial concept data and the basis for grouping subjects on each ability criterion (high, medium, and low). Every two people from each ability group in semi-structured interviews. Thermochemical material is re-taught using a metacognitive skill learning model and given a final test and interview to get concept data after learning to assess conceptual changes. Five concepts become variables in this study: the heat of reaction, enthalpy of reaction in a calorimeter, Hess's law, energy diagrams, and bond energies. The results showed that concept changes occurred in all high, medium, and low ability subjects. Changes in students' conceptions occurred in the concepts of the heat of reaction, reaction enthalpy, calorimeter, Hess's law, energy diagrams, and bond energy. The most significant conceptual change occurred in the subject of medium ability and low ability, namely the concept of bond energy.

Abstract

This study discusses the rate of phosphate release in Silica Gel (SG) and Amino Silica Hybrid (ASH) sorbents using Lagergren pseudo-first Order Kinetic and Lagergren Pseudo-second Order Kinetic. ASH synthesis was done by adding a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) modifier to sodium silicate from Lapindo Mud. Phosphate binding was carried out at 30 minutes with a stirring speed of 250 rpm. Analysis using IR spectrophotometer showed the success of ASH synthesis as indicated by the appearance of functional groups -NH2 and -CH2 at wavenumbers 1635 cm-1 and 1473 cm-1. With the continuous method, SG and ASH sorbents that have bound phosphate were then desorbed at various times of 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 days. The amount of phosphate anion released from SG and ASH was tested using a UV-Vis instrument then modeling was carried out to determine the rate of phosphate release. The desorption results showed the amount of phosphate released from the ASH sorbent was less than that of the SG sorbent. Through modeling, the proceeds of the phosphate release rate follow the Lagergren Pseudo-second Order Kinetic with an experimental QE of 0.22089 M/g for SG sorbent and 0.33333 M/g for ASH sorbent.

Abstract

One of the prevention of osteoporosis is by taking calcium supplements. Crab shells are calcium sources that can be processed into supplements. Calcium extraction used the calcinations method at 900°C temperature for 4 hours. After calcining the crab shell powder, it was analyzed by using XRD and processed with the Highscore Plus application by using Rietveld method. The best calcium crystals will be used as raw material for effervescent powder. The results showed that calcium crystals from rajungan crab shells contained 0.4% CaCO3 with a crystallite size of 25.9001 nm and 99.6% CaO with a crystallite size of 82.7183 nm with a GoF value of 1.69979. Calcium crystals produced from bakau crab shells were 100% CaO with a crystallite size of 77.3397 nm with a GoF value of 1.90266. Calcium crystals from bakau crab shells were used as effervescent raw materials with 2 different formulations. The results of the organoleptic test from both effervescents showed the same results, namely in the form of a pale yellow powder with a orange scent and sour taste The results of the dispersion time test showed that the 2 formulations had met the requirements with the dispersion time of formula 1 being 31.67 seconds and formula 2 being 32.33 seconds. The results of the water content test of the two formulas met the requirements with the water content of formula 1 being 0.071% and formula 2 being 0.067%.
