Oral Presentation

Format

A list of questions related to the important theory for this project is presented below. These questions focus on the important aspects of the theory and are to be used to help guide you through your presentation. The answers to these questions must be integrated into your presentation. The questions should not appear on your slides nor should there be mention of them during your presentation.
You may also share any interesting information you may find as long as you stay within the time limit given.
At the beginning of your presentation, provide me with a printed copy of the presentation, as well as an electronic copy of your presentation that includes the acceptable references. See the Chemistry Guide for this course for information regarding references.
Presentation format:

Include a general introduction slide and a general conclusion slide.
Slide format: Each slide must contain a title, at least one image and explanatory notes in point form. See example below.

Slide titles: Slide titles must be short. In general, they are only a few words or a single line of text. The format of titles should be coherent throughout the presentation. For example, if certain titles begin with “The,” then all titles must follow this same format. However, it is acceptable to drop the word “The,” and, if this is the case, all titles must follow this format.
Images: Images should be clearly visible to improve the clarity and precision of the presentation. If the explanatory notes in point form are placed on the left-hand side of the slide, the image will be placed on the right-hand side. If the explanatory notes are placed at the top of the slide, the image is placed below. Sometimes it may be useful to use arrows to precisely describe or identify important aspects of an image.
Explanatory notes in point form: On slides, a list of important points is provided using only words or short phrases. Complete sentences are rarely used. In addition, the points of the list may begin with nouns, verbs or adjectives. However, on a particular slide, this list must be presented in a uniform way. Ideally, on one slide, one type of word begins each point on the list.

Time limit: to be determined
Please dress appropriately for your presentation. Do not wear jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, short skirts, sneakers, hats, etc.
The use of cue cards (memory aid) during your presentation is NOT permitted.

List of questions

Biodiesel

1. Introduce the topic of your presentation, why is it important, division of the presentatation, introduce presenters

2. What is biodiesel? Provide a description, its structure, its importance, compare with diesel, etc. (you may add other points if the time permits)

3. Discuss a few important points about the history of biodiesel. For example, when was it first synthesized and by whom, etc.?

4. What are some other alternative energy sources and why is it important to develop and use alternative energy sources?

Synthesis and analysis of biodiesel

5. Discuss how you will prepare biodiesel

Reaction
Synthesis
Purification

6. Discuss how you will analyze biodiesel using :

Density
Viscosity
Chosen method

7. Conclusion

8. Future directions: Discuss a few advantages and disadvantages (limitations) to the use of biodiesel as an alternative energy source. Do you think biodiesel is a viable alternative energy source? Why or why not? Please make sure that your answer is well thought out.
