Hey all you yandaos and chiobus out there!!!

Still a virgin to chemistry? Or thinking chemistry is only titration ? NaCl ? HCl??

You totally wrong! But fear not ! 0912D saviors is here !!!

Here we go now!!

Lets start off with some pic!!

Cool hot pink colour , its from chemical found in the internal of a lightstick


Lightsticks

How a glowstick works.

1. Plastic casing covers the inner fluid. which can glow (kn)

2. Glass vial covers the solution.

3. Phenyl Oxalate and fluorescent dye solution.

4. Hydrogen Peroxide solution.

5. After the glass vial is broken and the solutions mix, the glowstick glows.




Sliver mirro experiment !
MY very own disco ball !! Lets go disco!!
Actually is a coating of silver on the inside give the shiny look!



Beverages LOOK SO REAL!! But too bad can’t drink T_T

It is actually made form this “magic water” , which is made up of Potassium Hydroxide
and Potassium Ferric(II) Cyanide solutions. The colour is due to precipitate when adding some reagent.



Elephant toothpaste

Mix two solutions together and you get an amazing eruption of oxygen filled foam that looks like a giant stream of toothpaste. Or elephant toothpaste.

This due to the reaction of Hyrodgen peroxide using catalyse manganese dioxide. Oxygen is given off and cause the detergent to bubble and giving a stream of toothpaste like stuff.









Dragon Fire : Lycopodium (ground pine/club moss)
-Used in fireworks, pyro technique . Give fiery fire look! COOLEST OF ALL !!

How cool would it be if we can breath fire !!!!


Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) (also called slush powder) are polymers that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass. Water absorbing polymers, classified as hydrogels, absorb aqueous solutions through hydrogen bonding with the water molecule.



Did you know that SAP is found in ur diaper ? COOL chem is everywhere! Even the unimaginable !!


So What have we learn today Yandaos and chiobus?
CHEMISTRY IS EVERYWHERE !!
Chem is everyday of ur life and
Most importantly CHEMISTRY IS FUN


I hope that this will tweak you to love chem !!
CAUSE 0912 D loves chemistry!!! KUDOS to chemistry lover and teachers !!!
