Hey Mommy! Look what I can do!
 
So today in Organic Chemistry we conducted one of the coolest experiments!

Brace yourselves for...

THE CHEMILUMINESCENCE

OK, so what was I watching?

I'd drink it.

M.J., The Point Is..............:confused:

I found it odd how there were all the Palm pre videos to the right. That relates how?

M.J.'s video makes you think of Rosie Palm? :)

There was a blue liquid being stirred, right? Why all the excitment?

Re: Hey Mommy! Look what I can do!
 
All the excitment was I made it today in Chemistry.

And I uploaded it from a palm prix phone so I guess thats why all the vids came up from that.

Well... at least my Mom liked it.

Sweet looking spinning liquid. You should get one of those robo stirs I see on TV it stirs so you dont have to. Then you can have glowing blue liquid all the time. So was it the chemicals that made the chemlight juice

We first synthesized Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) Oxalate, which was then dissolved with 9,10-diphenylanthracene in diethyl phthalate. The glowing began when a mixture of diethyl phthalate and 35% hydrogen peroxide was added to the former mixture.

I'm sure that's probably more then you wanted to know.

lol dude, that rocks. Chemistry is awesome. It's not as cool as it's parent, but still awesome. That wasn't a cigar floating in there was it? :p I noticed that the speed of rotation would change, what caused that? Also, on the side of the page were a bunch of videos about Luminol; is that pretty much what you guys made?

We can control the speed of the spinning using the magnet in the hotplate (it makes stirring a lot easier!

I'm thinking that Luminol is pretty much similar to what we made.

There are a few compounds that can be synthesized that exhibit chemiluminescence. I can't recall tham off the top of my head (I'm an Analytical Chemist, not an Organic Chemist). In science shows/demonstrations for kids, a lot of times, they will use indicators in acids and bases to evoke a color change. The cool thing about those is that 2 colorless solutions are mixed together (usually phenolpthalein is used as the indicator, which gives a pink final color) to get that colored solution.

When my job here ends, I think it would be cool to get into forensic chemistry. They do some cool stuff and use some cool technology.

I took Analytical Chem last semester, and let me tell you, it kicked my butt!
I really like those experiments thats use color change indicators (although titrations are a PITA.)

Forensic Chem would be a really fun area to get into!

Should I try this at home?

I got this far and my mind seized up.


Flashbacks, dude, terrible flashbacks!

Pre-med students!

Bad grading curves where an 84 = F!

Too much memorization!

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIEEE!

Get that cigar out of there!!!
Cool
