Today I will be making some wintergreen flavoring, aka methyl salicylate, from Aspirin. Then, I will eat it.

Not Not Good Gaming; Many functional groups are quite sensitive to UV though... Might be better to use a collimated light source (like a red laser with a greatly expanded beam width) to illuminate both phases from the side. However, this would only work well if the phases have quite different refractive indicies.

When I was little, my cousin and I picked mint leaves in my grandparent's garden. We tried to squeeze the mint oil out with a bench vise to make gum. Of course, we failed miserably - but we had such a fun time trying. She passed away in 1997 at 20 years old. This was one of my favorite memories of her. I've always wondered how to make mint gum from scratch. Anyway, keep up the good work - I really enjoy the edible chemistry videos and all your videos!

Rural areas virtually always have lower rates of crime than urban areas.
@KuraIthys
@KuraIthys 6 жыл бұрын
Not really. Though there is some variance, crime rates are pretty much proportional to population. If there's 30 robberies per 100,000 people per week, then in a city of 1 million, that means 300 people are getting robbed a week. If you're talking about a town of 500, or even a rural area with far les than that... Well, let's say you have 10 robberies in that town in a year... How much crime is this, proportionally speaking? Well, 500 people, 10 crime in 52 weeks... 10/52 crimes per week, 500 / 100,000 people.... ~ 0.192 / 0.005 that's 38.5 crimes a week per 100,000 people, which is higher than the crime rate in the city. That's a contrived example of course, but if you put enough people together it might seem like there's lots of crime, but that's only because there's lots of people. For the amount of people there are, crime rates are typically quite consistent, and can even tend to be slightly higher in rural areas than in cities, in general. Crime rates do vary enormously by region though, irrespective of whether you're talking about cities or rural areas. Even different parts of the same city can have vastly different crime rates though...

NileRed the light is REALLY dim and hard to see, but if you get the individually wrapped mints and smash them in a pair of pliers or something it should be visible in a dark room. It looks really cool if you record it in slow motion, too e. Lmao sorry I didn't realize you were the dude who made the video and talking about the candies you made. I thought you were just a commenter saying your lifesavers wouldn't light up

I really like your videos. I'm terrible at chemistry but it fascinates me. I've always been curious about everything really but for chemistry I've always wondered how they made chemicles from natural plants & elements. I mean everything chemical we have had to come from earth in some way or another and it's fascinating to find out how. I'd love to see some videos more on that process even if it is the most basic of chemicals. I know this is an old video but I'm actually new to the channel so it's new to me lol.

OH NO, the pink dye is BACK! In all seriousness though, you did a great job as always; I really enjoyed it! I do also have a video suggestion (just an idea, not trying to tell you what you should do at all!): - How about doing a series about carbon-carbon bond forming reactions? The main ones, I mean. You could start with the most common / 'easiest' ones and end at the most advanced (but still relatively commonly used) reactions that you can carry out with the equipment that you currently have. Another topic I would love to see, would be selective photochemical synthesis (i.e. Using a narrow-band light source to selectively drive a reaction in a way that would be impossible, or impractical, thermally).
