  1. Today in the classroom:

    First year chem is doing more redox reaction practice. We're still identifying oxidation states and determining the oxidized/reduced compound.

    Second year chem is getting one more day to finish corrections on their final exams. They'll do some reading on polymerization and then we'll make some slime early next week.

  2. Did you know your stomach contains hydrochloric acid (HCl)? 🧪

    This powerful acid helps break down food and kill harmful microbes, making digestion possible .

    The crazy part? Your stomach constantly renews its protective lining so the acid doesn’t digest the stomach itself .

  3. @clim8_solutions Interesting: the researchers have discovered a new way of making catalysts to allow synthetic dyes to be broken down efficiently into carbon dioxide, water & inorganic salts, & in a sustainable & scalable way. Underlying article:

  10. Na2CO3

    Natrium Tri-carbonaat {NL}

    I am fortunate enough to have had the best teachers of my school era, still available when I was going to school; you know; that place where they teach you to

    • be quiet
    • not ask too many questions
    • sit quietly and still for hours
    • do as you're told
    • basically program you to become a working drone

    That part didn't work on me.

    All others good things did work

    I learned

    • the languages
    • the Physics
    • the Chemistry 🧪
    • the Mathematics
    • Linear Algebra
    • the Quantum Physica
    • on every process I was already executing ever since I was a young bright child

    6CO2+ 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

    This is one of the most important chemical formulas / chemical reactions on Terra

    If you've never had any chemistry please go and look it up {sources}.

    It's important to know this formula by heart.

    If you've had chemistry in school, didn't really like the subject, please also go look it up too.

    When you've read the article about this reaction you will understand why I made that statement of massive importance.

    Without this Natural Chemical Reaction, life, complex life 🧬 for the species of Homo Sapiens would not be possible!

    There are many other reactions in chemistry which dictate what we do, which drive our Corpus, which drive our psyche. I shall not delve into those now, that is for other articles.

    With all this knowledge in background, I saw this generic article on chemistry and this molecule jumped out

    Na2CO3

    Natrium Tri-carbonaat {NL}

    The carbonates are very important and very interesting chemicals which many occur in nature. In fact, the things that they can do for us are so vast and diverse, that I will just point you to a page where everything is neatly and properly explained, on a technical dedactive level.

    Alkaline reactions are a few of the processes that the carbonates can do for us.

    Carbonates are used to soften water

    Ca2+ + CO2−3→ CaCO3 (s) {sources}

    We also use it in cooking, you do that too, when we bake with dough

    When you've read just a section of the article, you'll realize that you use this family of chemicals everyday ;)

    Chemistry 🧪 has never been a mystery for me. I love the way many processes work chemically, it makes everything in nature so nice and beautiful.

    A cohesive comprehension of Nature builds within you, when you understand the mathematics, the physics, the chemistry of processes, which in the beginning seem complex, but are quite simple when divided in the sub processes

  20. Today in the classroom:

    First year chem are working on assigning oxidation numbers in compounds and reactions. We'll do some work with that and then split equations into half reactions.

    Second year chem have all finished their final exam, so today will be the last day to do corrections. Seniors are finished after today, we'll do the customary "signing of the lab bench" and then they'll give me some anonymous feedback on the course.

  21. A couple of weeks back I had the great opportunity to present some of our group's recent work in a virtual presentation at Rutgers University. A huge thank you to Joel Freundlich and Stephen Burley for inviting me (and for the gift that I just received). Thank you also to all that took the time to attend and participate in the discussion.

  22. @sflorg 🤷🏻‍♂️ All during the 19th century, when chemists ‘deterministically’ rearranged atoms by the *trillions of trillions* to form new chemical compounds from starting reagents, physicists called it “hallucinations induced by lab fumes”.
