Chemistry Stuff

Will be having Chemistry Exam next Thursday. Need some luck and well.. Will give you something cool to watch regarding... C. H. E. M. I. S. T. R. Y....

1) Personally, I like soup. A lot. It tastes good and let's just say it serves my lazy needs of not wanting to chew on anything. So soup sounds like a great idea huh? But.. in Chemistry....

H2O + NaCl -> HCl + NaOH
Water + Common Salt -> Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide

Let's just say it seems pretty harmless. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide IF you have no idea what they are. But now, let's just say HCl has a pH value of around 1. And that is a very potent and highly acidic acid. Ok, now Sodium Hydroxide, pH value of 13. And that is a very very corrosive and a highly alkaline alkali. So if those two react, we will be ingesting highly acidic acids and highly alkaline alkali which doesn't sound too good, even if they neutralises each other (for your information, they do)

However, don't worry. Usually it happens in a reverse way, which means
HCl + NaOH -> H2O + NaCl

So, don't worry.. This probably doesn't happen. That's my assumption. You never know ;)

2) This is a video that is kind of viral on Facebook so I thought I will share this here before I explain anything. The adding of mercury (II) thiocyanate can be quite tedious so you can skip that if you want. But the reaction is really cool.

Now, getting freaked out or just bored.. You can see some of the uses and useful information here. Have fun reading :)

Chemistry don't seem that bad after all, huh? Hope this helps! Have fun :)

The Road Not Taken

Haven't been posting a lot lately but I thought I should just give you all a treat...

poetry

Hope you guys will like this really nice poem. Don't always try to seek the easy way out, take the road less travelled by ^-^

Robert Frost (1874–1963).  Mountain Interval.  1920.

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;         5   Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,         10   And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.         15   I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.         20   Courtesy to: http://www.bartleby.com/119/1.html
