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 :)

My Funeral Song? Thinking too far, maybe...

(David Hodges):

Seems so far

that I have gone down this road

Only to find that it ends.

But looking back

There is one thing that I know

I can't make it all alone again.

Cause I'm too weak to stand on my own

But all I need is you.

(Chorus):

So lead me

Guide me

Hold me

Hide me in love

With all that you are

and all that you do.

Hear me

Take me

Mold me

Break me oh God

Just fill all of me

As I fall into you.

Just catch me as I fall

But all this time

I have felt so alone

Losing myself in my despair

With loving arms

You were waiting for me to let go

With every step

You were there.

Cause I'm too weak to stand on my own

But all I need is you

(Chorus):

So lead me

Guide me

Hold me

Hide me in love

With all that you are

and all that you do

Hear me

Take me

Mold me

Break me oh God

Just fill all of me

(Chorus):

Oh my child

How I have longed

for you to come home

Where you belong

All of your life if you could just see

All of my joy when you are here with me

Oh my child

[Together: Amy Lee (David Hodges)]

Lead me (How I have longed)

Guide me (For you to come home)

Hold me (To where you belong)

Hide me in love (All of your life)

With all that you are (If you could just see all of my joy)

And all that you do (When you are here with me)

(Amy Lee)

Hear me

Take me

Mold me

Break me oh God

Just fill all of me

As I fall into you

French Song #2

Mystery

Of us, just transient on the Earth

What did we come for

What's the point

To talk or to be silent

To work, to look for tunes

To tell you

What you've probably already been told

Life is pleasure

Ouhouhouh,

Or sighs

Why are we here

But I do know why

I came for her

For us to fall asleep together,

For her to fly with my wings.

Mm, I'm here for love

It seems

What can I say ?

About being born, then dying,

Never being able to see anything,

Never knowing,

Defeats or victories ?

And over the roof,

The sky, her,

It's the only reason for me, her,

To love dancing at this ball

Under the stars

Music and mystery

But for me, everything's clear

I came for her

For us to wake up together,

For her to fly with my wings.

Mm... Mm...

I'm here for love

It seems

I came for her

I came for her

Mm...

French Song #1

Lying down, the body is dead

For thousands

It's a sleeping man...

Half-full is the amphora

It is half-empty

That we see it effortlessly

Seeing life on the tail-side of the coin,

Oh, Philosophy,

Tell me elegies,

Happiness

Scares me

To have so many desires

And I have a breath in my heart,

Thus,

It's a beautiful day

I'm going to bed

Such a beautiful day

Which is finishing

Makes you want to love

I'm going to bed

To bite eternity

With my mouth wide open

It's a beautiful day

I'm going to bed

Such a beautiful day

Sovereign

Makes you want peace,

To see angels at my feet

But I'm going to bed

To make myself beautiful

Lying down, the body is dead

For thousands

It's a sleeping man...

Half-full is the amphora

It is half-empty

That I still see it

Everything has been said, for in love,

If it's heavy

If the heart is light

Elegies forever

Pleasures, short or long,

Do you see, my love,

I am out of breath

Do you see?

Beautiful

Life is beautiful

Like a wing

That must not be wrinkled

Beautiful

Life is beautiful

But I make myself

Beautiful

Life is beautiful

But mine

A takeaway world

I go into it

And mortal, go away.

It's a beautiful day

I'm going to bed

Such a beautiful day

Which is finishing

Makes you want to love

I'm going to bed

To bite eternity

With my mouth wide open

It's a beautiful day

I'm going to bed

Such a beautiful day

Sovereign

Makes you want peace,

To see angels at my feet

But I'm going to bed

To make myself beautiful

Water Has Memory

Now let's back-track to when I crossed the bridge to the bus stop where I would transfer to one last bus before I reach my school.

I was staring at the rain as I wait for the bus. I saw cars zooming past, and then there were nice little fountains that emerge from the wet surface of the road before disappearing again as another car zoom by. So I wondered about something I read earlier, water has memory. How will water remember our generation? And what about these memories if water runs out? The article is here, and just absorb the knowledge and you've read to the end of this post.

Invisible Loneliness

Fly away.. Fly away..

My blog design

Birds flying

A Paper crane

Fly

Fly away,

crane

Why don't you fly away?

Why don't you leave already?

why not...

  Ok now, I was just thinking of that when I saw a paper crane picture after looking at my blog, which makes me think of a song by Hatsune Miku - Hirai Hirai (Flutter Flutter). The song fits the ambience. The "poem" is a hypothetical situation. I was just thinking. And maybe you should too. :)
