Mad Scientist Potion

June 24, 2008

The Martini-Glass-of-Science and I spent some quality-time in the kitchen this morning making a video of a mad scientist potion. I also wrote up instructions for making the fizzing potion change color. Of course, if you really want to play mad scientist, add dry ice to the liquid.

Quick Emulsifier Chemistry Demonstration
Soap is good at cleaning because it acts as an emulsifier, enabling one liquid to disperse into another immiscible liquid. While oil (which attracts dirt) doesn't naturally mix with water, soap can suspend oil/dirt in such a way that it can be removed.It's easy to demonstrate the action of an emulsifer. All you need are two immiscible liquids and a […]
On This Day in Science History - November 14 - Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin
November 14th marks the passing of Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin. Vauquelin was a French chemist and apothecary who is credited with the discovery of the elements beryllium and chromium. He was working with the mineral crocolite when he isolated a new element that had salts of many different colors that he named chromium. Later that same year, he isolated berylliu […]
Sulfur Pentafluoride: The Color of Love... and Death
Here's a cute cartoon to brighten your day. Sulfur pentafluoride presumably binds with itself to make disulfur decafluoride, a chemical warfare pulmonary agent similar to your good old friend phosgene. Fun stuff. Disulfur decafluoride eventually decomposes into sulfur hexafluoride (which can be used as a sort of anti-helium in gas density demonstrations […]
