Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered why fulminating gold—the world's first known high explosive—produces a purple smoke when it detonates, solving a 400-year-old alchemy puzzle. Fulminating gold was first discovered by alchemists in the 16th century. It is a mixture of a number of different compounds, with ammonia providing the majority of the material's explosive power. German alchemist Sebald Schwaertzer noted the unusual purple smoke given off when fulminating gold was detonated in 1585, and the material was later studied by leading figures of chemistry in the 17th and 18th centuries, including Robert Hooke and Antoine Lavoisier. But while the chemistry of the fulminating gold recipe has been understood for centuries, one question remained unanswered—why does its detonation produce purple smoke?

What happens if you throw sea water onto an oxyacetylene flame and put the resulting light through a spectroscope? You get approximately these colors. Imagine that, the ocean, vaporized and partially atomized, glowing at over 3000 degrees

I’m not kidding when I say that writing for the Baltics is like throwing some guys onto the stage and the fuckers just go and all I have to do is sit there with a pen and write down what they naturally say and do
But writing anything in Nat’s (or Ivan’s) POV is like having to pen a goddamn literary essay on the symbolism of every moment and the meaning of existence

Bromocresol green (BCG) is a dye that is used in chemistry and analytical chemistry as a pH indicator in acid-base titration and in thin-layer chromatography staining solutions to visualize acidic compounds. Generally, the indicator can be prepared by dissolving BCG in an ethanol solution.

Is there a good way to get access to a mass spectrometer as an amateur chemist? I want to synthesize e.g. aspirin and verify the purity
(I understand that this is not the same as it being safe to take if the mass spectrometer only shows peaks corresponding to the product. I'd still be curious)

Also on the topic of WVU programs, the chem department is under review while then university is clinging to the claim that it’s a GREAT program for forensics which just shows how out of touch admin is which the actual programs. You cannot possibly have a solid forensic chemistry and forensic biology program without an extremely solid chem department. A deeper understanding of the material is made possible through chemistry

Someone very wise told me: Write the smut you want to see in the world. Well, Switch!Wyler is a work in progress over several one shots! Next up: Dom!Tyler in the woods, accompanied by light teen angst.
A formula that just can’t go wrong and I thank the fellow Wyler writers for the inspiration❤️

Hey, I’m a new user in Tumblr and I just have started to discover digital art, but I’d still really like to try sharing my fun stuff here.
So, this is my humanization of analytical chemistry.
Here she is:
🌟In the head and laboratory there is complete order, peace and accuracy up to seven decimal places, but this wonderful owner of the lab is trying to express herself and move away from the impeccable image of a “bore” as best she can.
🌟Steals ethanol and indicators from organic chemistry lab.
🌟Remembers absolutely all formulas for calculations by heart, good at mathematics.
🌟The only one who doesn’t mock inorganic chemistry.
🌟Gets very angry and upset if someone harshly rounds up the results of her laboratory calculations.
I see her only this way!
