[best-element-poll]

(the 2 most voted elements will continue onto round 2!)

More info about each element (and propaganda for the ones I like) under the cut. pleeeeeeeeease read some of them at least the one about francium

(disclaimer: these are based off short wikipedia reads and my crumbling high school chemistry knowledge. correct me if I'm wrong about anything.)

HYDROGEN: Hydrogen is the lightest element (consisting of only one proton and one electron). It is also the most abundant element in the universe, it's a gas (at room temperature) and it can explode. It's also quite representative of acids, having the (Arrhenius) definition of an acid straight up saying that it has to dissociate in water to form H+ ions. It's also quite an efficient fuel. Hydrogen is anywhere and Hydrogen is everywhere. If you like explosions, sour beverages, or acid in general, consider voting Hydrogen!

LITHIUM: Lithium, under standard conditions, is by far the least dense metal and the least dense solid element! You may primarily know him from your phone's Lithium-ion batteries. There are Lithium-based drugs used to treat mental illnesses. You can throw a block of lithium in water and it will make a really big explosion. The metal is soft and silvery. I'm running out of things to say about him. If you like batteries vote Lithium? (edit: just realised lithium is used for batteries, and batteries are connected to robotics and engineering. if you like robots and cool mechanical stuff vote lithium!)

SODIUM: You must know him from table salt. That's actually NaCl, his best known involvement. There are many more very important and very commonplace compounds that involve sodium, such as baking soda (NaHCO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (that's probably the most famous base?). It's also very important to the human body (you shouldn't eat more than 2300mg a day). If you've ever used table salt or baking soda while cooking, consider voting Sodium!

POTASSIUM: Their name was based on the word potash, which was based on an early and easy way of obtaining potassium, from putting ash in a pot, adding water, heating, and evaporating the solution. It's used in a lot of fertilisers because it's an essential plant nutrient. It's also involved in a ton of important compounds: KOH (a strong base), KNO3 (often used as salt bridges in electrochemical cells), K2CrO7 (an oxidising agent often used in organic synthesis), and K2CrO4 (I don't know what this one does). If you have ever eaten food from fertilisers consider voting Potassium!

RUBIDIUM: Rubidium compounds are sometimes used in fireworks to give them a purple color. They've also got a cool name, based on the latin rubidius, for deep red (the color of its emission spectrum). I'll be real, I don't really know much about them beyond that, but that is one cool name. Vote for Rubidium if you like cool names.

CAESIUM: Caesium is used in the definition for a second, meaning that an entire SI unit is based on it! A second can be defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 cycles of microwave light absorbed or emitted by the hyperfine transition of caesium-133 atoms in their ground state undisturbed by external fields". It was also discovered from mineral water. Did you know that they had to use 44000 liters of water to find her? If you've ever experienced time or had a conception of it in terms of units, consider voting Caesium!!!

FRANCIUM!!!: Caesium... TWO! It's sad that no one will probably read this far but this is my favourite element in this poll. This element is characterised by instability. Her longest half-life is 22 minutes. Her entire existence was conjoint with Caesium before they discovered that she was her own element. She has never been seen. They literally never confirmed what color she is. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. Through the hands of different scientists, she was going to be named after Russia, Virginia, or Moldavia at different points in time. At one point the name catium was proposed (for "cation", since she was believed to be the most electropositive cation), but was rejected because it sounded like a cat element. Which is so fucking sad. We could've had cat element but we ended up with France element. That's right she's also named after France. Just tragic fascinating existence overall. Also isn't it just insane that her half-life is only 22 minutes? Dude, you don't get it, the most of her that's ever existed in one place is a mere 300000 atoms. She's here and she's gone. What the hell.

The charm of Francium can be summarised by the wise words of my good friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

[tauforged]

i do find it incredibly funny how i’m the only person in my entire department with absolutely zero chemistry background or lab experience. my supervisor has a phd my coworker is fresh outta college after majoring in environmental chemistry and volunteering with half the organizations we REPORT to and meanwhile i’m just some art school dropout with four years experience working at petco under his belt who just happens to be so insanely autistic about water quality and aquatic animal care that they hired me anyway and are just letting me learn as i go. it rocks. my supervisor asks me how i would do the math to determine how much potassium hydroxide i need to weigh out to make 100mls of 8 normal solution and i have to admit to her that i have no idea what she’s talking about and instead of getting mad at me or frustrated she just shows me where to find the information i need and lets me figure it out and then once she’s sure i know what i’m doing to a level where i’m not going to blow anything up she sets me loose in the lab to apply my newfound knowledge . and i’m getting PAID to do this shit

[nevermore117]

figured I might talk a little about how I've been making soap so yall can judge my dirty ass workstation

I'm making a new batch this evening so it seems like a good way to show everything from the top. This is a long post, I just like sharing my hobbies and I think soapmaking is fucking cool ok

Part 1:

Essentially, when you make soap you're mixing sodium hydroxide (or another similar base like potassium hydroxide) with water and oils and blending them up. When mixed they go through a process called saponification, during which (from my rudimentary understanding) the fatty acid tails break off from the fat structure because the hydrogen atom in the NaOH (sodium hydroxide) really wants to bond in that spot instead. The Na is an ion and breaks off from the molecule in water anyways, and it and the remaining O bond with the fatty acid tail and make a soap. Don't ask me any more please I'm not out of gen chem 2 yet.

All that means is, you take some water and some oils and some sodium hydroxide and mix it together, let it react, and you get soap. The key is the ratios of oils, water, and sodium hydroxide.

The thing is, sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Which is kind of like a strong acid in how bad it is to touch. You don't want it on your hands, you don't want it in your mouth, and jesus fucking christ it WILL blind you if you get it in your eyes. So PPE (personal protective equipment) is a must. And not just some gardening gloves either, you need proper eye and skin protection.

I have latex gloves, a long-sleeved denim shirt I got from my old job for free, and some decent protective goggles. All of this goes on before the lye is opened and doesn't come off until I'm completely done with everything. PPE isn't a joke.

Anyways. When you're making soap you need stuff like measuring bowls of course, since like I mentioned it's the ratios that matter. I measure everything by the gram with a digital scale. Silicone spatulas are also a must, I have two.

I also have an immersion blender. You COULD stir by hand, but I'm not eager to splash 10M lye around willy nilly so I got the blender. It just makes it easier and gives a better final product. I keep my tools separate from anything I would eat with bc, yknow,

, so no smoothies for this bad boy. Not pictured are plain spoons for adding stuff to the measuring bowls. I use glass bowls bc the lye can corrode metal.

Once I measure out an oil/butter I dump it into a big glass measuring cup. I could use a bowl but the measuring cup has a handle and I'm gonna be heating it up later.

Did you think I was done fearmongeroing about sodium hydroxide? Nope! It isn't just bad to touch, it's also bad to breathe! And it generates heat when you dilute it! That's hardly unique to lye, but it's still a little scary and cool.

The lye comes in little round pellets that I have to dissolve into a specific amount of water to get the right concentration of sodium hydroxide solution, and while that's happening it gives off vapors that SUCK to breathe. Ask me how I know. It's not "gonna kill you, call 911 asap", but it's "OWCH my LUNGS". You know if you breathed some in, it stings for a bit when you breathe in like something irritated the lining of your esophagus. Because it did.

So you have to make soap (or at least dilute your sodium hydroxide) in a well-ventilated area. Hence why I do this in my dirty ass garage instead of a nice clean kitchen. I have a big fan set up right next to my water bath (for keeping the lye cooler as I dilute it plus emergency water for washing), and I open the garage door to get that shit out. No enclosed spaces for me, please.

Now... actually making the soap look and smell nice. I have fragrance oils I add, plus I can also add stuff like soap colorant (NOT FOOD DYE), clay (like a clay mask), exfoliants, etc. I just kinda fuck around with trying new oils together. The appeal of this hobby for me is trying new things and experimenting.

I'll update more with actual in-progress photos once I'm done. I took these after cleaning all my supplies, I have some work I have to do before actually making soap bc it takes a while to measure everything out. Hopefully I'll find some time later this afternoonnnn

Doing review questions.

Hyperkalemia is a known side effect of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers such as olmesartan. The risk of hyperkalemia is increased with chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, moderately severe to severe heart failure, NSAID use, and older adults. Chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide can cause hypokalemia.

In men who are diagnosed with hypogonadism with symptoms of testosterone deficiency and unequivocally and consistently low serum testosterone concentrations, further evaluation with FSH and LH levels is advised as the initial workup to distinguish between primary and secondary hypogonadism. If secondary hypogonadism is indicated by low or inappropriately normal FSH and LH levels, prolactin and serum iron levels and measurement of total iron binding capacity are recommended to determine secondary causes of hypogonadism, with possible further evaluation to include other pituitary hormone levels and MRI of the pituitary. If primary hypogonadism is found, karyotyping may be indicated for Klinefelter’s syndrome.

Daily use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution has been found to be more effective than lactulose, senna, or magnesium hydroxide in head-to-head studies. Evidence does not support the use of fiber supplements in the treatment of functional constipation. No adverse effects were reported with PEG therapy at any dosing regimen. Low-dose regimens of PEG are 0.3 g/kg/day and high-dose regimens are up to 1.0–1.5 g/kg/day. Ref: Tabbers MM, DiLorenzo C, Berger MY, et al: Evaluation and treatment of functional constipation in infants and children: Evidence-based recommendations from ESPGHAN and NASPGHAN. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2014;58(2):258-274. 2) Gordon M, MacDonald JK, Parker CE, et al: Osmotic and stimulant laxatives for the management of childhood constipation.

Primary hyperaldosteronism should be suspected as a cause for hypertension if a patient has a spontaneously low potassium level or persistent hypertension despite the use of three or more antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic. This can be evaluated by checking a serum renin activity level and a serum aldosterone concentration and determining the aldosterone/renin ratio. Primary hyperaldosteronism typically presents with a very low serum renin activity level and an elevated serum aldosterone concentration. A 24-hour urine collection for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) would be used to evaluate for a neuroendocrine tumor, which can present as chronic flushing and diarrhea. Cortisol levels can be checked if Cushing syndrome is suspected. Hypertension can be present in Cushing syndrome, but it is typically associated with other signs such as obesity and an elevated blood glucose level due to insulin resistance.

Psychogenic tremor is characterized by an abrupt onset, spontaneous remission, changing characteristics, and extinction with distraction. Cerebellar tremor is an intention tremor with ipsilateral involvement on the side of the lesion. Neurologic testing will reveal past-pointing on finger-to-nose testing. CT or MRI of the head is the diagnostic test of choice. Parkinsonian tremor is noted at rest, is asymmetric, and decreases with voluntary movement. Bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability are generally noted. For atypical presentations a single-photon emission CT or positron emission tomography may help with the diagnosis. One of the treatment options is carbidopa/levodopa. Patients who have essential tremor have symmetric, fine tremors that may involve the hands, wrists, head, voice, or lower extremities. This may improve with ingestion of small amounts of alcohol. There is no specific diagnostic test but the tremor is treated with propranolol or primidone. Enhanced physiologic tremor is a postural tremor of low amplitude exacerbated by medication. There is usually a history of caffeine use or anxiety.

Turn Oil Into Soap with the Help of Saponification! Mectech Installs Premium Plants

Saponification is a fascinating chemical process that has been around for ages, converting oils and fats into soap and glycerol. Understanding saponification, from its historical significance to its present applications, provides insight into chemistry and the common cleaning product we use — soap.

What is Saponification?

Saponification is a chemical reaction involving a fat (or oil) and a strong base, typically sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye. The result is soap and glycerin.

Steps of the Saponification Process

While the chemistry may appear complicated, the process of creating soap may be broken down into a few easy steps:

· Materials are created by combining oils or fats, lye (sodium or potassium hydroxide), and water. Customisation options include adding essential oils, colourants, or exfoliants.

· Mixing: The lye is mixed with water to create a solution, which is then carefully combined with the oils or fats. As the mixture cools, saponification occurs.

· Trace Stage: The liquid thickens as the soap begins to develop. This is referred to as “trace,” and it is the point at which other elements, such as perfumes or herbs, are introduced.

· Curing: Once poured into moulds, the soap needs time to cure. This process may take from several days to a few weeks, depending on the method.

Saponification in Daily Life

Aside from industrial applications, saponification is gaining popularity among hobbyists and small enterprises as people enjoy homemade and artisanal soap. Many people are drawn to the creativity of making soap from scratch, which allows for bespoke smells, forms, and ingredients.

Making soap is also an environmentally friendly pastime when using natural, biodegradable materials. Homemade soaps do not contain many of the chemicals and preservatives found in commercially manufactured goods, making them a more environmentally friendly option for personal care.

Conclusion

Saponification is more than just the process of making soap; it is a time-honoured practice that mixes chemistry and art. Saponification, the process of converting oils into soap in a lab, factory, or home, has left an everlasting effect on human history. In today’s world, the saponification process continues to act as a link between science and everyday life, allowing us to create goods that are not only necessary for hygiene but also adapted to individual preferences and sustainability.

Reducing Waste Through Oil-to-Diesel Conversion

Environmental Impact: Reducing Waste Through Oil-to-Diesel Conversion

As the world grapples with the growing threat of environmental degradation, innovative solutions are being sought to address the challenge of waste management. One such solution is the practice of converting waste oil into diesel, a process that not only reduces waste but also provides a valuable alternative energy source. By repurposing waste oil, which would otherwise contribute to pollution and environmental harm, this method offers a promising path toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

Understanding the Problem: Waste Oil and Environmental Concerns

Waste oil, which includes used motor oil, hydraulic oil, and other lubricants, is a byproduct of various industrial and automotive processes. Every year, millions of gallons of waste oil are generated worldwide, posing significant environmental risks if not managed properly. Improper disposal of waste oil can lead to soil and water contamination, harming ecosystems and posing serious health risks to humans and wildlife.

When waste oil is improperly disposed of—such as being dumped in landfills, poured down drains, or burned without adequate controls—it can cause extensive environmental damage. Soil contamination can render land infertile, while water contamination can affect aquatic life and the quality of drinking water. Furthermore, the burning of waste oil without appropriate emission controls releases toxic substances into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and climate change.

The Process of Converting Waste Oil to Diesel

The process of converting waste oil into diesel involves several stages, each crucial to ensuring that the end product is both efficient and environmentally friendly. The most common method used in this conversion is called transesterification, a chemical process that transforms waste oil into biodiesel through the reaction of the oil with an alcohol, usually methanol, in the presence of a catalyst like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

Collection and Filtration: The first step involves collecting waste oil from various sources, including automotive repair shops, industrial facilities, and restaurants. The collected oil is then filtered to remove impurities such as dirt, metal particles, and water.

Dehydration: Once filtered, the waste oil undergoes dehydration to remove any remaining water content. Water can interfere with the conversion process and reduce the efficiency of the diesel produced.

Transesterification: In this stage, the filtered and dehydrated waste oil is mixed with methanol and a catalyst. This chemical reaction breaks down the oil molecules and separates glycerin from the esters (biodiesel). The glycerin, a byproduct of the process, can be used in various industries, reducing waste even further.

Purification: After the transesterification process, the biodiesel is purified to remove any remaining impurities, ensuring that the final product meets industry standards for use as a fuel.

Blending and Distribution: The purified biodiesel can be used on its own or blended with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It is then distributed for use in vehicles, machinery, and other diesel-powered equipment.

Environmental Benefits of Converting Waste Oil to Diesel

The conversion of waste oil to diesel offers numerous environmental benefits, making it an important strategy in the fight against pollution and resource depletion.

Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Biodiesel produced from waste oil burns cleaner than traditional petroleum diesel, resulting in lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter. This reduction in greenhouse gas emissions helps combat climate change by lowering the carbon footprint associated with transportation and industrial activities.

Minimization of Waste and Pollution: By converting waste oil into diesel, large quantities of potentially harmful waste are diverted from landfills and water bodies. This not only reduces the risk of soil and water contamination but also minimizes the environmental impact of waste disposal practices. Moreover, the process itself produces minimal waste, as byproducts like glycerin can be repurposed in other industries.

Conservation of Natural Resources: The production of biodiesel from waste oil reduces the demand for virgin fossil fuels, conserving valuable natural resources. This is particularly important as the world’s reserves of petroleum continue to dwindle. By utilizing waste oil, a resource that would otherwise be discarded, we can extend the life of existing fossil fuel reserves and reduce the environmental impact of oil extraction and refining.

Promotion of a Circular Economy: The practice of converting waste oil to diesel is a prime example of a circular economy, where waste materials are reused and repurposed rather than being discarded. This approach not only reduces environmental harm but also creates economic value by turning waste into a useful product. It encourages sustainable practices across industries, fostering a more resilient and resource-efficient economy.

Support for Renewable Energy Initiatives: Biodiesel produced from waste oil is a form of renewable energy, as it is derived from a resource that can be continuously collected and converted. This aligns with global efforts to transition away from non-renewable energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. By supporting the production and use of biodiesel, we can contribute to the growth of the renewable energy sector and promote a more sustainable energy future.

Challenges in Converting Waste Oil to Diesel

While the environmental benefits of converting waste oil to diesel are clear, there are also challenges associated with the process that need to be addressed to ensure its widespread adoption and success.

Collection and Logistics: The collection of waste oil from various sources can be logistically challenging, particularly in regions where infrastructure for waste oil collection and transportation is lacking. Establishing efficient systems for collecting and transporting waste oil is essential to ensure a steady supply for conversion.

Quality and Consistency: The quality of waste oil can vary significantly depending on its source, which can affect the efficiency of the conversion process and the quality of the resulting biodiesel. Developing standardized procedures for assessing and processing waste oil is necessary to ensure consistent and high-quality production.

Economic Viability: The economic viability of converting waste oil to diesel depends on various factors, including the cost of raw materials, the efficiency of the conversion process, and market demand for biodiesel. While the process is generally cost-effective, fluctuations in oil prices and the availability of waste oil can impact profitability.

Regulatory and Policy Support: Government regulations and policies play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of waste oil conversion practices. Supportive policies, such as subsidies for biodiesel production or mandates for the use of renewable fuels, can incentivize the growth of this industry. Conversely, a lack of regulatory support can hinder the development of waste oil conversion initiatives.

Public Awareness and Acceptance: Public awareness and acceptance of biodiesel made from waste oil are critical to its widespread use. Education and outreach efforts are needed to inform consumers and businesses about the environmental benefits of biodiesel and encourage its adoption.

had a good day at work today btw. supervisor taught us how to make a potassium hydroxide solution 😀 and we got to do bleach titrations again which was sooo fun it’s probably the coolest chemical reaction we get to do (i am partial to the calcium and alkalinity titrations too though. the transition is much more gradual yeah but they make such pretty shades of pink and blue and purple)
