Amazing Race: Be Like Tom Hanks - Organic Chemistry As a Second Language
Amazing Race: Be Like Tom Hanks - Organic Chemistry As a Second LanguageThe Amazing Race: Be Like Tom Hanks is another show that incorporates the fun and excitement of organic chemistry as a second language into its plot. I have enjoyed the show quite a bit and now I am looking for a copy to buy online to see if the same holds true for the show.In the show, there are online competitions held online where contestants must create a mixture using an ionic liquid like the ML-D-D formula. In other words, they are presented with an ionic solution and have to identify all the atoms and molecules. It would be like learning an elementary level organic chemistry but in your own home with the various ingredients you will need to make your concoction.For instance, in the show, a contestant comes up with the problem of developing a product made up of the appropriate mix of carbon-hydrogen, and oxygen, which can be used to fuel a car engine. To my knowledge, this is a super original concept and a good use of the more advanced steps of organic chemistry. Most people who have read the material will say it has relevance to other real world situations but has a fun twist to it. It does have a bit of chemistry education mixed in to it works out well for those interested in this.In addition to being able to learn more about chemistry, you also get to watch the show. Not just that, I think it is one of the better shows on television these days and when the internet is so readily available, there is no excuse for not having it in the house. So, if you like the show, you will find this particular book a great value as well.I must say that I enjoy the book very much and the ability to research the same while working on the project will give a whole new enjoyment to the process. If you do not know how to do organic chemistry as a second language, the book provides complete descriptions of the problems, techniques, and requirements for each step of the project. They also provide formula s that are needed for the job at hand.This book will keep you busy for several weeks and have you enjoying the fruits of your labor even more. That is what I love about reading this type of material as a second language, the excitement of solving problems and understanding the concepts behind them in organic chemistry is amazing.I give the book 5 stars in my review and will definitely purchase it again when I need to get an assignment solved or a project ready for presentation. This book will keep you engaged and happy as you work to solve a variety of puzzles as you make progress through organic chemistry as a second language.
