Question

Find a news article or report (the more controversial the better) that discusses a chemistry topic such as a particular chemical (Lipids for example) or chemistry process (Gas Laws for example). Use the NEWS templet to analyze the article. Conduct research on the topic you picked. Write a short essay (1-2 pages) that discusses what points the article/report is trying to convey, and how the science is used to make these points. Also based on your research and what you have learned in class, discuss how the article relates to you, and your opinion of the author’s use of the science—did they get it correct or not? Defend your opinion with evidence from two (or more) sources.

Grading Rubric:

5 points – Complete the NEWS worksheet.

10 points—Discussion on the points of the article or report.

10 points – Discussion of the science used in the article or report.

10 points – Your opinion with supporting evidence.

5 points – Proper citation of your sources.

Title: Critical Analysis of Controversial Chemistry Article
NEWS
Title of Article: State of shock: 200-year-old law about gas mixtures called into question
Date of Publication: December 11, 2019
Author’s Qualifications: Graduate, University of New Mexico
	Noteworthy 
	Gas laws describing the behaviour of gas mixtures are not applicable in the presence of shock waves. This is also applicable for nuclear and conventional explosions.
	Evidence 
	In a study conducted at University of New Mexico two gases namely light helium and heavy sulfur hexafluoride and the properties of the resultant were studied. A shock wave was then passed through the resultant mixture. The pressure and temperature after the shock compression was not as expected through the classical theories of Dalton or Amagat.
	What does this have to do with me?
	This study changed my perception of the classical gas laws and theories and made me gain deeper knowledge so that I can keep myself updated on the latest advancements. These impacts may lead to changes in designs of engines.
