On Wednesday,
February 20th, twenty teams from 10 local high schools braved frigid
temperatures and the oncoming snow/ice storm to participate in the Battle of
the Burets competition sponsored by the St Louis Section–ACS and St Louis
Community College–Florissant Valley.
Teams of two students
competed to accurately determine the normality of an unknown acid solution
within a six-minute time period. This year’s competition was fierce, with over
half of the participating teams scoring within 0.5% of the known, secret value.
As the phenolphthalein-pink hues diminished, teams from Parkway West High
School, Villa Duchesne, and Westminster Christian Academy advanced to this
year’s title round. Rachel Arnold and Mary Hogan from Villa Duchesne took top
honors.
