So thats how Drew infuses his acids

I thought you pulled a me and instead of dropping a cigar in the river you dropped it in some glow in the dark liquid in chemistry class and decided to spin it and video tape it. now that I read the other posts I see that is not the case.

I really like those experiments thats use color change indicators (although titrations are a PITA.)

Forensic Chem would be a really fun area to get into!

Did well in Analytical in college (always knew I was going into Chemistry, though). Love the investigative aspect of it. i.e. Give me a sample, and eventually I'll tell you what's in it, and how much of what is in it.

Pre-med students!

Bad grading curves where an 84 = F!

Too much memorization!

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIEEE!

Memorization is ALL O-Chem is!!!!

2 of the 4 Chem professors are analytical chemists by background. (although it may be more). I guess I enjoyed using the instrumentation but analytical is just so.. ANAL.

I'm sure that's probably more then you wanted to know.

Yeah... thanks Sir Mixalot So dumb it down for me a touch. Where any of the chemicals blue and glowing or did they interact that way? I find stuff like that very interesting and some do hope to know some of that stuff. The only chemistry I know is that vast quantities of alcohol introduced to the male species makes women look much better.

Neat stuff though

Shhh...that's not supposed to be public knowledge.

Both chemicals were clear and transparent before mixing.

Thats the best way yet, I have seen to make Koolaid!

This. I had strong pre-med grades until org chem. Then I became a history major.

I hate titrating! Sux!

I did not like organic chemistry in college and the 4 hour+ labs were the worst. Ironically i deal with organic chemistry everyday now...I much preferred inorganic chemistry but that was me.
Very cool video MJ.

Chemistry rocks! When I was in San Diego, Peter did this experiment over and over and over again!
