Chemist Answers Chemistry Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

How does she know everything about everything?

I have a question. Why is Chem 113 freaking impossible? Lol

Physicist get all the craze, but chemists are equally cool and important.

Nah, the world is just physics 🤷‍♂️

Missed chance to ask about breaking bad fact check

A video on chemistry & the name Heisenberg not mentioned? The video is incomplete.

BRING HER BACK! I have big questions about thermite.

I hadn’t thought about chemical reactivity in terms of physical attractiveness! So I guess that Fluorine is like a solid 10 and poor old Argon is a 1?

I didnt think she explained most of these very well compelled to most other tech support

Ive just been doing organic chemistry for 14 hours non stop(just ate a quick meal while studying) and this is the first video i get recommended

Alright let me clear up the proper sequence of development of Periodic table.

1. Dobernier's Triads. The middle element have a mean atomic mass of the other two.

2. Newland's Law of Octaves (Periodicity)

3. De Chancourtois' Tellurique Screw

4. Dimitri Mendeleev (Arranged on basis of Atomic mass and also predicted 4 elements for future discovery like Eka-Sillicon)

5. Mosley (Long form of Periodic Table) : Atomic number is the function of periodicity. Also gave an equation called Mosley's law.

For the boiling and evaporation. The simple and generalized definition is :

"Evaporation is the physical change where any substance in liquid phase enters into the gaseous phase after which a dynamic equilibrium is attained"

"Boiling point is the temperature at which the external pressure is equal to the vapour pressure of the liquid "

Anyways I am just a 12th grader and probably completely explained the questions she answered in layman's terms. Anyways great job.

Regarding her responses, I am not at all sure. You don't need a chemist to answer these questions. Anyone with a high school knowledge of chemistry can answer it. And even the questions that are asked are not at all good questions and seemed to asked by some unemployed school dropouts . Sone of her responses are misleading and straight out wrong. If you want to teach someone something then make sure you give them accurate and complete information. There's nothing like layman's term in Science. Any definition or law or explanation must have correct technical terms and I generalized concept used in. If someone doesn't understand a thing or something then there is a clear lack of understanding of fundamentals and basics. Thus venturing into the forefront of science without any formal training in fundamentals is useless and a waste of time for the non gifted crowd....

Being enthusiastic about science and trying to make it accessible are great pursuits but a fair few of these answers are just plain wrong. Not over simplifications, just incorrect. In fact the actual answer to “why bonds break” and “why can’t you put your hands through atoms” are easier to explain! I gave up watching after those two.

I'm sure that for a lot of people, all it takes is a wink and a high five. I'm pretty sure I get fired out arrested if I try that

Maybe not. Feels like it some days though

Nilered would’ve been a better choice for this.

The answer to the question with passing your hand through solid matter is objectively wrong, I have no idea how a supposed expect gave just a flagrantly false answer, even if we assume she dumbed down the answer to be easier to understand it's still very much false.

Eh ? Nuclear reactions are chemical ?

I can't take her any more!

Oof, embarrassing miss on the pool chlorine mechanism

The lava lamp she describes is the one you make in elementary school in your chem class, but a commercial lava lamp works in a different way. Its basically a bottle of water with a polymer inside. The polymer has a density slightly above the density of water, and when heated slightly by the lamp at the bottom it expands and its density goes down (to a value slightly below that of water) so it rises to the top. At the top, its colder so at some point the polymer loses heat and shrinks so the density goes up again and it drops back down. In most lamps there is a little metal coil at the bottom of the bottle which retains some heat to increase the heat transferred to the polymer.

@brain-chemicals?!: See book "Everything is chemistry". Overview shows picture/mindmap layered sciences:
philosophy -> mathematics (incl. informatics) -> physics (incl. astronomy) -> chemistry -> geology -> biology -> psychology.

I'm a chemical engineer by education, and watching this reminded me why I chose this major! It was my obsession with chemistry! Thank you, Professor!

Shes so lovely i want her to teach me anything

Everywhere outside USA its called Mendeleyevs Table, not Periodic Table so this was a very murican system question

She looks like jojo siwa

a genius who can explain something so complicated in a very easy way, she is definitely one!! loved this episode

Most of the questions were not really chemistry but biology or physics.

Why it seema like everybody know the pj guy.. who is he?

I'd say that when people ask what the most dangerous chemical reaction is that you classify them into groups. Any energetic molecule or mixture that can cause an unexpected explosion or detonation is dangerous, and any such mixture unknowingly or suddenly releasing toxic gases.

am i the only one CAPTIVATED by her enthusiastic way of explaining things?!?!?!?!

"All science is either physics or stamp collecting."

I'm in my first year of majoring chemistry and I want her to be my professor!

She is really good bringing it to a low level language but with chemistry, this effect always happen (not her issue, is a science problem) that to make it easy you start to explain it really really wrong, not just inexactly. There is an old science joke that if you Study Biology, u study Chemistry, if chemistry, physics, if physics, math, if math, logic/philo. And physics is hard to quickly summarize for a video

I rewatched the slime bit like 5 times, literally pure joy

Hundreds and thousands of co2 attracted to the candy. More like billions and trillions

M y god this woman is an idiot.

What a fool. The sulfur helps create smoke. That is n the reason for sulfur. It is to generate heat.

water evaporates when there is enough energy to break the hydrogen bonds. What an idiot.

This video is pretty awesome

So how DO you get rid of skunk smell now ?

She shows the difference between a teacher who teaches as a job, and a teacher who is absolutely passionate about her subject and wants others to be equally passionate.

I feel that i am very clever after watching peoples questions

"If you add something basic...like my ex-friend Tiffany..."

😊Oh come on, be my wife...it'd be fun!!
Por favor (please)
