      Thank physicists for the advances we've made then. Without their work and the development of instruments such as NMR, IR, GC-MS, LC-MS, etc we wouldn't be able to qualitatively confirm that these compounds are indeed what we intend them to be. Also the development of a standardized nomenclature allowed for a lot of the advancements given that before a universal naming system people were never able to convey what exactly they were looking at

      If you have already done this, someone else can read this tutorial:
      If you haven't already, try making some Sodium Acetate (hot ice) [Vinegar + baking soda]. It's probably the easiest chemical you can create that is neat to make and look at. As for the ratio of Vinegar to baking soda, All you do is start with baking soda and keep adding vinegar until the baking soda stops dissolving. Then heat it up and add more baking soda until it stops dissolving again, then add enough vinegar to dissolve the last bit of baking soda.
      Everyone seems to talk about measuring things out, but if you have to correct the ratio, then measuring was a waste of time, unless you need a specific yield.
      If you add too much baking soda, just add more vinegar. If you added too much vinegar, then just add more baking soda. If you cook it down too much and the whole thing is crystallizing on the stove, just add water back to it. Just make sure you do it outside or near a window or have a strong fan blowing the air outside, because the acid fumes are strong while making it in large batches.
      You can start on the highest heat setting and as you cook it down, lower the temperature. Technically this can be done at room temperature, using normal evaporation and should give you a higher quality result, but that would take forever. So just gradually start reducing the heat, once most of the water is boiled off.
      All you need is a metal pot and a glass or ceramic container (something that won't warp from boiled water), baking soda and vinegar.
      Optional:
      paper coffee filters or a vacuum filter,
      91% Rubbing alcohol or 95% ethanol,
      Activated charcoal or normal charcoal (although I don't know if this would mess it up, I never tried).
      You can make a test batch with a VERY small amount, that would probably be very quick, or you can do a huge batch, which will take a lot longer to boil off the water.
      I don't recommend tasting it or eating it, because it's a home-made chemical.

      Reminds me also of the occult book called The Picatrix - full of dubious magical recipes, some which involved things like smoking hemlock. The idea was to weed out the unworthy because they would be gullible enough to try it without doing any research.

      Wolfin did you even read that page about the McDonald's coffee case? That was not an example of a frivolous lawsuit; people only believe so because McDonald's created a huge PR campaign and paid off journalists. Lookup the images of the Stella Liebeck burns case. Even according to that page that you posted:
      "McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit."
      "Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns in three to seven seconds."
      "McDonald’s admitted it had known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years. The risk had repeatedly been brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits."

    • @KainYusanagi
      @KainYusanagi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +83

      Hot coffee is hot. And it would have been still hot 40*F cooler where most companies provided it at. McDonalds also provided false testimony that they'd cranked it up to let commuters keep it hotter over time driving, when they had done research into just that and found that even commuters preferred to drink coffee purchased immediately upon purchasing. They'd also had many lawsuits before this point, as he pointed out, and had never resolved the issue. Stella's case went as it did because they had shown gross negligence over multiple years.

    • @greasyfingers9250
      @greasyfingers9250 6 ปีที่แล้ว +75

      Additionally, she only initially wanted $20,000 for medical expenses. McDonald's offered $800. In the end they settled for less than $600,000. This amount was less than 0.05% of the revenue McDonald's received for all of 1992.

    Cool synth man! One thing that’s totally unnecessary but works pretty well for huge crystals. When you recryst leave the solution on the hot plate and let the beaker come down to rt at the same rate as the hot plate cools. This takes much longer but you’ll get huge crystals! Again totally unnecessary but big crystals are pretty awesome.
    Also taking a few TLCs might help you figure out when the rxn is done and give you better yields (or at least save you some time), literature timing is almost never correct.
    Anyway, great video man!

    I knew it! I saw the title and called it. 😂 I used to take phenytoin. I'm no chemist, but I know one of the ingredients is Urea.
    Love your vids! Keep it up. You help make humanity's collective brains bigger.

      I don't think he's addressed magnesium hepoxide directly, but a number of his videos which feature really nasty products also have a note on disposal at the end. His video on chromyl chloride comes to mind.

    On a side note, the potassium phenytoin is a great example of NH acidity. If there is an atom with a hydrogen on it right next to a carbonyl group, it can form a resonance stabilized anion by cleaving the N-H or C-H bond and giving off a proton. Thus these compounds tend to act as acids, just like carboxylic acids do with O-H. This is why some nitrogen containing compounds like amides, or imides like phenytoin, are acidic or pH neutral in solution, in contrast to amines which are strong bases.

    Is there any reason why you don't smooth the surface of the substance layer in the frit while letting it sit to dry? In my experience the drying is much faster if you squeeze the substance gently with a flat bottomed glass stopper due to the liquid manually squeezed out and to minimize the distance between the liquid molecules so that cohesiveness helps you suck out the rest . :)
