The study of History of Education is very important to teacher education because it allows reflections and greater criticality about their own teaching practice and professional condition. The purpose of this research was to identify similarities between the curriculum of Chemistry courses of University of Coimbra (UC), National School of Chemistry (ENQ) and School of Engineering of Porto Alegre (EEPA) at the beginning of the 20th century seeking to identify possible influences of UC in the structuring and curriculum of the first Brazilian higher education Chemistry courses. The results showed more similarities regarding the structure between UC and ENQ, while there were greater correspondences in the curricular activities between UC and EEPA. Finally, it was not possible to identify confluences in the curriculums of the courses over the decades since there was a divergence between the models of organization of the higher education in the countries under study.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemometrics is a subfield of chemistry that emerged from advances in analytical instrumentation and computing. When seeking to solve chemical problems that depend on many concomitants experimental variables, chemometrics can be employed in order to extract as much information as possible in the least possible number of experiments. In addition, it is possible to evaluate the important effects and interactions among the variables to understand the processes being monitored in each system. In this sense, this article aimed to develop a didactic experiment of caffeine extraction using an espresso machine, applying the 25-1 fractional factorial design. The variables studied were temperature (75 and 78 ºC), pressure (2 and 15 bar), granulation (bean and ground), type of coffee (special and traditional) and period of the day (morning and afternoon) to obtain maximum extraction of caffeine. The coffee extracts obtained were analyzed using UV-Vis molecular absorption spectrophotometry. The developed experiment showed the potential to spread the application of chemometrics in the academic environment and to facilitate the teaching of fractional factorial design.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68267740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Yeomans-Bremner (YB) method is currently the one that stands out the most. The drawback of these methods is the large amount of concentrated H2SO4 used, which generates a large amount of hazardous waste. This work proposes using KMnO4 as an alternative to K2Cr2O7 for a lower consumption of H2SO4. The method uses the back titration of Fe2+ added to consume both the MnO2 produced and the excess KMnO4 that was not consumed in the OM oxidation. A non-trivial and yet not explored stoichiometry was applied for this purpose, providing a success not yet achieved in using permanganate to determine TOC by titration. The ideal condition for the oxidation of OC was determined by the analysis of a potassium hydrogen phthalate standard and involved the use of 0.125 mol L-1 H2SO4 and temperature of 70 °C, obtaining a significant advantage over the YB method (concentrated H2SO4 and 170 °C). The proposed method was applied to the analysis of soil samples, producing conversion factors for soil organic carbon that varied between 0.652 and 1.12.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the chemical and pharmacological properties of semicarbazones, an interdisciplinary didactic sequence was developed to be applied in experimental classes of undergraduate courses in Pharmacy, Chemistry and related areas. This didactic sequence was planned in three steps, starting from the planning of the target molecule, a semicarbazone derived from helional, to its synthesis, physicochemical characterization (CCD, melting point, FTIR and UV-Vis) and in silico tests of its pharmacokinetic properties using the free software ADMETlab 2.0. The proposed target molecule has as molecular scaffold the 1,3-benzodiaxole nucleus and the semicarbazone function, aiming to obtain a molecule with promising anticonvulsant action and that can be obtained by a low cost and easy to execute methodology, which makes it attractive for use in experimental classes. Thus, the application of this didactic sequence aims to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to experience the process of drug development, applying techniques for planning, synthesis, characterization, and pharmacokinetic evaluation in silico.

The main findings indicate that the use of the impact factor must be complemented by the cited half-life of the journals, and a composite metric named influence factor is proposed, similar to the R-impact. The h-index is not a good metric anymore because does not correct for authorship inflation. The individual h-index (hi), which takes into account fractional counting of citations, is more reliable than the h-index.

Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons whose detailed study of its chemical profiles is a challenging task. This type of product of great commercial importance has its quality measured in Brazil from classical physicalchemical tests. Although robust, physical-chemical analyses generally require large amounts of assays, solvents, and samples, in addition to not being indicated for the detection of small compositional changes. In this work, NMR and chemometrics were used in the quantitative study of different samples of gasoline with varying ratings of octane and ethanol contents. The results demonstrated the usefulness of NMR spectroscopy both to characterize as well as to distinguish the chemical profiles of regular and premium gasoline. With the application of the ERETIC, the chemical profiles mentioned were quantitatively differentiated and the proportions between hydrocarbons were determined for both types of gasoline. The application of the ERETIC was also successful in the quantitative determination of ethanol contents in regular and premium gasoline. The aforementioned method, which dispenses with the use of quantification standards inserted directly into the sample of interest, was unequivocal in accounting for the volume of ethanol, in addition to showing excellent agreement with the method currently adopted by the Brazilian government.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68269924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
