[@MrGurkentomate]

Your story about bitterness was still less insane than my organic chemistry prof's story. He made a small amount of sweetener(I don't remember which one, but he said it was about 10.000 times sweeter than normal sugar) for an experiment, and decided to try a little bit of it. It tasted sweet but not insane, just like regular sweetness. He then tried to wash it off, surprisingly it didn't wash off. A day later, still, everything tasted sweet. A week later still the same picture. He couldn't get the sweetness out of is mouth for 3 weeks. Literally everything he ate was sweet for 3 weeks.

[@nashsok]

I had one of those compressed air cans get punctured a while back in my apartment and for the better part of a day while I aired out my plave, the air itself tasted bitter from this stuff - Really amazing how potent it is.

[@surkey5055]

Yeah I have a more embarrassing but similar story. I used to huff air dusters and they had denatonium benzoate to discourage that. Usually I would use a balloon but one day I decided to just inhale straight from the nozzle. I almost threw up and was tasting it for the next 2 days. I can still remember the taste, yuck.

[@MattbyNature]

These videos remind me of the organic chemistry lab in undergrad. As a grad student in RNA biochemistry my chemistry has gotten really rusty - so I always stop and look at how I would explain the reaction, how I would go about it etc - great revision!

[@notenoughpaper]

This happens quite frequently to me. Especially when working with toluene, its really hard to fully remove most of the time as toluene has such a low boiling point. This means that often tiny amounts stick to the otherwise clean product, sometimes even after some washing steps (If you were gonna do it again I would wash it a little more, maybe using something less polar like hexane). One thing I learned to remove the remaining toluene is to add a little bit of low boiling point solvent (in my cases often chloroform or dichloromethane) and then quickly reduce the pressure below the boiling point using a rotary evaporator to quickly pull off the solvent which might strip some toluene with it. oc be careful so you dont create a mess. I believe that something similar happens when adding a little bit of acetone to the allready hot syrupy liquid.

I'd like to see your HNO3 video next and the methylamine video once you get a better pump (I think I've said that before, getting déjà vu). With all the higher quality chemistry videos here on youtube recently no one is really doing any vacuum distillations or reactions under vacuum.

This is very interesting and how you explain everything in detail is commendable. I have some remarks though: 1. You maybe should have used a separatory funnel to separate the toluene and water layer. Maybe this contributed to your poor yield? 2. I guess what happened is little bit of acetone got dissolved in your denatonium benzoate which is why it formed a jelly, like in your calcium acetate/alcohol jelly experiment. Does this sound probable? 3. You didn't wash your final product with water to get rid of acetone, is it safe then? :) Best regards to you and thanks for patiently considering my points.

Do you know why the cost of potassium (1,095/kg) is so much more than sodium (220/kg). Is it because it is more hard to make potassium via electrolysis than sodium or is it because of regulations on the sale and production of potassium. If anybody knows please help. Just wondering, thinking about making a small electrolysis cell to make some lithium and sodium based off of some patents I have been reading and was wondering if I could do it for potassium because it was not specifically talked about in the patents or anywhere else.

Prices are based off of gallium source so they are probably quite high

Sounds like a great torture device. Give someone a full course meal, and have them eat, but its heavily laden with the bitter chemical, and they have to eat all of it

I found nail polish remover that said 100% acetone and I was going to use it as a solvent but the I looked at the ingredients and it said acetone and denatonium benzoate. 100% acetone my ass.

[@weeaboo_weirdo]

It might’ve said that because the amount of acetone in the nail polish remover is so close to 100% that they just rounded up

I love that a numbing agent is used to make bitter
