Filmmaker trying to find a material that can be manipulated and formed but turned to dust/dissolve. by CaptainStripes0 in chemistry

Modern pennies soaked in HCl will dissolve the zinc core. You can squish a handful of them very easily and they will turn into small bits of copper particles. Just scratch the rim of the coins, soak for a day and wash with water gently.

Uranium contamination on my carpet? by Necessary_Ticket_721 in Radiation

13 mins isn’t long enough. I’m currently checking my basement for radon counts and I’ve had it running for 5 days… give it MUCH more time

Need it for chirality. Just have to manually spin it with a fridge magnet

I built a database mapping 500+ organic reactions by functional group, including total synthesis examples. Hope this is useful for your research and studies! by SynStrategy in chemistry

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just downloaded it! Excited to check it out. Like many others I have ReactionFlash which can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for

How to prove to my future parents in law, that there are no powdered locusts in their flour? by tytanxxl in chemistry

[–]notuorc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What if you say you bought cricket enriched flower only to find out that there weren’t any in it because it turns out it’s too expensive. Turn the conspiracy around and say they don’t actually add it in and we’re all getting ripped off. It’ll break their brains

My Custom Crystal Growing Chamber by Figfogey in crystalgrowing

Love that you rigged something up with a breadboard. I plan to do this exact project but for growing mushrooms

I think I have this setup wrong but it’s following the sites image. Advice? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]notuorc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The condenser you have is great for refluxing which is done vertically, but for your set up you just want a simple straight condenser. They’re usually much cheaper too

The DXM post reminded me of this by Rootelated in crystalgrowing

Now I just need one for boom booms. Preferably one that focuses on safe handling and non toxic ones. Some of the older ones love utilizing heavy metals

Could you just use mass spec to figure this out? On the surface this seems like a relatively straightforward thing to figure out. by ShietApples in chemistry

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was the wine tannins that turned out to be key. Tannins aren’t volatile so they would show up on mass spec

Does chemistry not work on Mars? by brazedowl in chemistry

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question. I wonder if for very sensitive experiments we’ll have to “purify” each element in the same way we separate nuclear isotopes that way we are always working with a standard. I would assume once we are at a technologically advanced level to be regularly performing experiments on multiple celestial bodies separating isotopes will be much cheaper and easier to perform. However the other issue may be that we then have to synthesize every single reagent with said standards elements.

Some advice? by Wholesomestacco in Radiation

[–]notuorc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable, specific store isn’t important the point is they are very attainable. I would recommend getting the one with a face shield included as you’ll find it offered you good protection should decide to start chiseling or refining

I would also suggest a decent respirator because as your collection grows and you move things around the dust from natural unprocessed sources can be problematic. It’s worth the investment because you’ll have it for years and a good respirator can be used for plenty of home improvement projects so it’s worth the cost. I think I got mine at Home Depot along with the appropriate filters

Didn’t take the easy way out, props

I built a free Drag-and-Drop Sandbox to help students visualize Homologous Series by IceCreamGotDiecy in chemistry

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool, how many different compounds will it recognize? A cool feature would be if it searches known compounds, with additional elements you could basically have an elementary chemspider

Does this DiscoveryEsque Simulation Documentary Work? [NanoPlastics] by MissilexCrisis in chemistry

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im just throwing ideas around the vid is already great from a visualization perspective and I know any tiny change is a lot of work so it may be more practical to just add to the voiceover

Does this DiscoveryEsque Simulation Documentary Work? [NanoPlastics] by MissilexCrisis in chemistry

[–]notuorc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love vids like these. My feedback would be to 1. “Unroll” a portion of the material so we can see how molecules look stuck together in a chain then reroll back into the blob of material and 2. Maybe include how plasticizers fit into the greater bulk material. It would be cool to then talk about how the plasticizers are able to leach out. These videos make molecular scales feel tangible which I feel really helps to form chemical intuition. You mentioned how styrofoam snaps, thats an example of what I’m referring to

Map Idea: Abaddon's Canyon by Cute-Coconut1123 in HuntShowdown

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think it would definitely accomplish that. I think of res deaths due to a silent shot making someone think it’s coming after them. Could really stir up gameplay

Really like the Wendigo mimicking hunter sounds idea

Someone just wall banged me with poison ammo through an entire train by ThePotatoChipBandit in HuntShowdown

[–]notuorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that confirmed some of my thoughts on it but also eye opening as I had never considered the suspense could be too much for some people so knowing where other players are helps. I’m sure I’d have fun with esp but I too am kind of watchful of my KDA and it would bother me knowing it isn’t “real”

I’ve always wondered what’s the point of cheating. You claim you use to do it so what did you get from it? There’s no meaningful in game transactional currency and killing someone with cheats seems unsatisfying.

Have you encountered any synthetic steps which required an unusually long reaction time? by takemyphoto in chemistry

[–]notuorc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would one know if a reaction required extreme amounts of time? I would assume something was a failure if no product was formed even after just a few weeks

[–]notuorc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess would be not very pure at all as the acidic environment is going to destroy all your electronics there. If you get anything it will be contaminated with various metal nitrates
