Memorizing valences was the first thing everybody did, and he quizzed us on it relentlessly. RIP Mr. Burns! Great guy and I'm sure he was way underemployed.

@@festerdam4548 instead of failing to do the assignment resulting in a poor grade (thus lowering your overall average grade for the class) with extra credit, if you give the extra effort, you get extra points to your grade. raising your average. if you don’t do the extra credit there is no “punishment” because it’s is only additive rather than subtractive. only reward without punishment. in some cases (as with this person’s example) it’s a competition to encourage engagement and interest in the student. in other cases they reward based on how well you did, or in others if you did anything at all you get the points. The main difference between that and normal credit is that it’s not required. by nature of being “extra” credit, it’s not unfair to any students because if you don’t wanna do it you don’t have to, you just don’t reap the benefits; however, if you do the work you get rewarded for your efforts.

As Arthur Clarke said 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic' Funnily enough, Chemistry is one of the few 'magical arts' to have survived into the modern era. Alchemy sounds all fantastical and Alchemists frequently had very strange goals in mind, but they did establish most of the groundwork for what later became chemistry, and any occult and arcane fluff aside, it was not that far removed from modern chemistry in practical processes...

Its been a while since I used an acyl chloride or studied organic chemistry, but shouldn't the cyclohexanol react to form dicyclohexyl adipate? IIRC forming esters from acyl chlorides takes little to no encouragement.

Hey, great video, as always! I especially liked how you began with purifying your acid precursor. However, why did you only do an acid-base precipitate filtration, in stead of also extracting the aquous phases with organic solvents and doing a proper recrystallization. Especially since you had a major problem with the purity of your starting material, and as you clearly also did do multiple runs... I would love to see you focusing a bit more on doing proper purification of the starting materials as well as the isolation and purification of the intermediates. IMHO, this type of pride in your work is what sets you apart from guys like Nurdrage and ChemPlayer; you already put in A LOT more effort to obtain a high quality product (which is one of the main reasons that I think you are THE best chemist on youtube). I would also love to see some NMR or LCMS analysis of the end products, however I really don't know how feasible that would be for you.
@robmckennie42035 жыл бұрын
I've been reading through the comments to see if anyone explains why he reacted the adipic acid with NaHO, and then with HCl to make adipic acid again. Is this why, purification?
