Thirst blog? 🚫

Study blog? ✅️

🥺🙈 thanks aleks!!

Also this is embarrassing but I struggle with remembering values and even mole concepts 🤧🤧 (I should've studied this in HS)

I used to be a TA and used to do tutoring both for gen chem so that’s a subject I’d say I’m pretty proficient in! Tho it’s been a few years now since then haha.

Honestly gen chem in high school is like… baby chem to me… idk if studying it in high school would have helped all that much! The learning environment in high school is so different from college. I don’t know if having any kind of foundation in high school really helps all that much come university. At least in my case it didn’t really…

I think the problem with teaching it in high school (at least in my school) is that it was taught sophomore year where students don’t know any calculus at all, not even pre calc, so I think the math lags behind the science. So you can’t really teach the students the actual mathematics behind the chemistry besides some really basic topics. Instead the chemistry at high school level leans heavily into outdated theories such as the structure of atoms (which you will learn once you get past orgo that none of that was even true) lol

Like in retrospect I understand why chem is taught in high school but the stuff they teach you in high school, if you actually want to be a chem major in college, will be useless to you

aleks the kemist! digging up my most alekscore draft because we’re on that freak to freak wavelength (i say this with the utmost adoration)

me: why would anyone block me? i’ve never done anything wrong in my life

also me: welcome to your friendly neighborhood armpit-foot-piss-blood-monster-incest-yandere blog

#༄ kae’s games #shitpost draft game #ummm there’s a lot of stuff to tag sooooooo #tw dark content #cw dark content #just to cover my bases lol

Hey! I just found your blog not too long ago but it's a lot of fun! You said you're a scientist right? What kind of science? Science was always my favorite in school (although I'm not good at it lol)

Also I agree with that other anonymous person Your Mouse is really great, it's so funny to see like piss kink, pegging, mosterfucking, more piss and pegging and then Mouse. (I bet they're a librarian, idk why they give sweet librarian reading to kids vibes lol)

-🪅

Welcome to the blog I am so sorry your first exposure to me is me talking about such filthy things LOL. It will continue I have no excuses akdjkddn

My day job I work in analytical method development in pharmaceuticals… it’s a branch of chemistry basically… being able to quantify compounds is just as important as making the compound itself! So it’s a very important step in the R&D process in drug development 😊

Mouse does seem really sweet and patient huh!! Mouse we love u… 🫶🏽

Aleks can you teach equilibrium 🤓

In chemistry there’s different kinds of equilibria…

Thermodynamic - the balance of formation of products / the existence of reactants.

Chemical - the amount of products in the reaction

Phase - the measurement of how many products are in each phase of matter

Electric potential - the difference between electric potential during a redox rxn

In stepwise rxns there’s the equilibrium of the ratio of products

There’s more than this but chances are you mean thermodynamically:

When ΔG of the entire reaction is closest to zero (the free energy of the formation of reactants is ~ the free energy of formation of product (assuming constant temp and pressure)). Think of the energy required for an equilibrium to shift as an upside down U. The left side of the U is the reaction progressing towards the product, with the energy required sloping downward. This is favorable and will progress on its own. Then it gets to the bottom of the U, where the reaction slows down. The amount of product you will form will hit a sort of “wall”, aka the bottom of the curve, aka where energy of reaction = energy of the products. If you remember any calc, the derivative of the reaction curve at this point is zero. After that the slope trends back upward, and there’s energy required to climb back up this hill aka to form more product. at this point, without any external input/catalyst, the reaction in unfavorable and will not go any further. think of it like a yoyo on a string, it will stay at the bottom of a u-shaped string unless you manipulate the string (aka manipulate the reaction via external factors). if you’re in gen chem you probably will not explore this topic any further than that. typically the energy values/kinetic rate functions will be given to you and its just an exercise in algebra to calculate where the reaction will stop
