[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

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.

- *loud pop*    student, in very calm voice: well that was painful

- lab assistant, seeing me frantically pulling on gloves: oh no. what did you do now

- professor: come on guys, don’t hate on social sciences majors… it’s not their fault they were born this way

- so i was grading your tests last night. i wanted to kill someone.

- you have five minutes until the end of class to finish the test. but i want to go outside for a smoke, so three

- *section of lab report titled “applications of compound”* i heard that a drug cartel used it to dissolve bodies, should i list that?

- “i’m synthesizing this compound in my next lab class, what kind of stuff effects the success rate and yield?” “dunno man, it depends on your karma”

- based on my recent lab assignments, i have come to the conclusion that the professor wants me to get killed

- dude, Fehling’s solution contains glucose, what if it tastes like lemonade?   *proceeds to dip finger in and lick it*   well that was a disappointment. the potassium hydroxide makes it kinda bitter.

The Future of Clean Energy: Unlocking the Potential of Hydrogen Production Electrolysis

With the increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy, hydrogen is emerging as a powerful alternative to fossil fuels. One of the most promising methods for producing hydrogen is hydrogen production electrolysis. This process utilizes electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, offering a zero-emission solution to energy generation. But how exactly does it work, and why is it gaining so much attention? Let’s dive into the details and explore the future of this revolutionary technology.

Understanding Hydrogen Production Electrolysis

Hydrogen production through electrolysis is a process that uses an electric current to break down water molecules (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂). The method is appealing because it produces pure hydrogen without emitting greenhouse gases, especially when powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

How Does Electrolysis Work?

Electrolysis takes place in an electrolyzer, which consists of an anode and a cathode separated by an electrolyte. When an electric current is applied:

Water molecules at the anode split into oxygen gas and positively charged hydrogen ions.

The hydrogen ions move through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they combine with electrons to form hydrogen gas.

The result is clean hydrogen that can be used for various applications, including power generation, transportation, and industrial processes.

Types of Hydrogen Production Electrolysis

There are three main types of hydrogen production electrolysis, each with its own advantages:

Alkaline Electrolysis (AEL): This is the most established method, using a liquid alkaline solution (typically potassium hydroxide) as the electrolyte. It is cost-effective and suitable for large-scale hydrogen production.

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis: PEM electrolyzers use a solid polymer membrane as the electrolyte. This method offers higher efficiency, faster response times, and compatibility with fluctuating renewable energy sources.

Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEC): SOEC electrolyzers operate at high temperatures and use ceramic materials as electrolytes. This method has the potential for high efficiency and can utilize waste heat from industrial processes.

Benefits of Hydrogen Production Electrolysis

HOW 2 INVENT SOAP:

INVENT TALLOW. Get some animal fat. Chop it up, add some salt and water, and cook it for a few hours. Scoop the melted liquid fat off the top and filter it through something to get any meaty bits that might still be in there out. When it cools down, it will turn back into solid fat, and you can repeat the process as many times as you want to get more non-fat stuff out.

INVENT POTASH. Fill a container with wood ashes (hardwoods work best). Then pour in rain water. Then let it soak. After a while, collect the liquid, which will now be a horrible caustic alkali solution. If you dry this out, you'll get crystals of potassium hydroxide, but you don't really need to, because the next step is...

MELT THE TALLOW AND PUT SOME POTASH WATER IN IT. This will be stupid hot and there will visibly be chemistry happening. Stir it up good for a while while absolutely not getting it on your hands.

Congratulations, you have now invented soap. Aren't you glad you did this part before you tried the penicillin?

I can understand how "modern person thrown into the past gets by pretending to be a healer/doctor" is as surprisingly common of a trope as it is. I mean I'm fluent enough at bullshitting to be pretty sure I could pull it off to impersonate a doctor in any time pre-1800s. If I have no idea what something is or how to treat it, I could just get the opinion of the other whatever-passes-as-medical-professionals around, but if their suggestions sound like bullshit I'm not doing it. And I'll beat the shit out of anyone suggesting bloodletting or mercury. With my healing stick. I've tied little bells on it, that jingle comically with every smack.

The awesome curative powers of my healing stick come from two separate sources: Placebo, and me using it to beat anyone trying to give my patients mercury.

What Are Laboratory Chemicals And Why Are They Essential?

Lab chemicals are important for many scientific experiments, research, and industrial processes. These substances help to carry out accurate tests that form the basics of chemistry, biology, physics, and environmental science. In this blog, we will discuss different types of laboratory chemicals, their uses in scientific work as well as leading laboratory chemicals manufacturers and suppliers in India.

What are Laboratory Chemicals?

Laboratory chemicals are substances used in laboratories for research or experimental purposes such as analysis, synthesis, or for experiment. They can be elements, compounds, or mixtures that serve various roles like reagents for reactions; solvents; indicators, etc.

Common Laboratories Chemicals And Their Uses

Below are some common laboratory chemicals, detailing their specific uses and significance:

Acetic Acid Glacial (1%)

It is a highly concentrated form of acetic acid commonly used as a reagent in chemical reactions at 1% concentration; solvent for different organic syntheses and for pH adjustment of solutions.

Acetocarmine Sulphate (Nucleic Acid)

Acetocarmine Sulphate is primarily used as a stain in microscopy for observing nucleic acids, especially chromosomes during cell division. It Helps enhance the contrast of the structures, making them more visible under microscopes.

Barium Sulphate

Widely employed as a radiopaque agent during medical imaging procedures because it makes certain areas more visible under x-rays than others; also acts as filter material in the plastics industry alongside rubber production and other uses – such filters may remove contaminants from liquids or gasses passing through them based on their pore sizes which allow only desired molecules to pass through while blocking unwanted ones, Analytical chemists often use it when looking at ways of determining sulfate ions within samples.

Carbon Disulphide

Carbon disulfide is a volatile solvent used in chemical synthesis and industrial applications. It is often used for the extraction of oils and fats and in the manufacture of rayon and cellophane

Copper Sulphate

Copper sulfate is widely used in laboratories for various purposes, including as a reagent in Fehling’s solution for testing reducing sugars, as a fungicide, and in the preparation of Bordeaux mixture for agricultural use.

Potassium And Sodium Tartrates

These potassium and sodium tartrates are used in laboratories as reagents in Fehling’s solution and in the food industry as emulsifiers and acidity regulators. They are also involved in the manufacture of some medicinal products.

Potassium Bromide

Infrared spectroscopy samples are commonly prepared using Potassium Bromide. As a reagent in analytical chemistry with applications within the pharmaceutical industry there were also other uses.

Potassium Chloride

It is used For the different chemical reactions at laboratories, it is used as a reagent together with being used to prepare buffer solutions. Also, it serves as an electrolyte replenisher during medical treatments.

The Function Of Chemicals And Laboratory Reagents

To create reactions and study the outcomes, substances are used in the lab commonly known as laboratory reagents or chemicals. They are necessary for qualitative as well as quantitative analysis; this helps scientists understand the composition, properties and behavior of different materials. Each may have its own purpose in an experiment so there can be many types of them.

Common Laboratory Reagents

Laboratory Reagents are compounds or mixtures introduced into systems to elicit a chemical reaction or test if one does occur. Some examples include:

Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

Ethanol (C2H5OH)

Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4)

Silver Nitrate (AgNO3)

These are some of the most commonly used reagents in labs, they could be used for different analytical methods like titrations, precipitations and pH adjustments.

A Chemical reagent is a substance or compound that is added to a reaction to determine whether it occurs or not. For example Fehling’s solution which can detect presence-reducing sugar by heating after mixing with a sample gives positive results indicated by brick red precipitate showing these sugars were present.

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)
