I was in AP Chem this year and we asked our teacher if she’s ever watched it. She went “It’s super easy to make it. I can probably make it. I won’t tell you how to make it or this high school would lose the only teacher that’s ever got a shot at raising those Chem AP test scores (true, great teacher).”

[@groovymanlive]

Hahahaha that’s awesome!! I have a friend in New Mexico who took AP Chem at the high school they used in the show, and the teacher banned talking about Breaking Bad 💀💀

One of my college profs went into FAR too much detail about what they got wrong and right in Breaking Bad

[@Napthas]

It's actually really hard for the average person, you need to be a good chemist. Key pre-cursors are banned so there's a lot of synthesis to make them.

Thank you groovyman, recently I've found myself in the very relatable situation of needing to dissolve a body using hydrofluoric acid due to my actions and recently creating a drug empire and was hoping for some advice. Glad you got that A bud

[@groovymanlive]

Happy to be of assistance 🫡

[@nightcore9798]

where you selling? I need a dose

[@Mulmgott]

I would recommend you switch to something like highly concentrated Sodium Hydroxide. It is way easier to handle and dissolves bodies just as well if not better.

[@Plasmacticus]

i recommend using piranha solution (a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide usually in the ratio of 3:1 sulfuric acid to hydrogen peroxide) to dissolve your bodies as it reacts really well to organic material due to its carbon

[@IronMan3582]

The writers of Breaking Bad really did their homework for a lot of things, and this shows it. I work in the Durable Medical Equipment division of a large hospital chain and one of the most common setups I do is home oxygen. The fact Hector is not wearing an oxygen mask like so many movies and TV shows do, means he's on a liter flow of oxygen that is less than 6lpm. The reason for this is if was using a mask instead of a nasal cannula like he is seen wearing, his character was on a liter flow that was low enough that could allow him to use an oxygen tank outside (as shown in almost all shots in Better Call Saul) that the oxygen coming out of the tank would not displace the carbon dioxide he's exhaling fast enough and would ultimately lead to hypoxia and kill him. An E tank at 2000psi at 6lpm would barely last 90 minutes and that isn't feasible for someone who is running a drug empire from a wheelchair. Speaking of wheelchairs they also use the correct branded wheelchairs that would be issued to a patient that gets a DME request with wheelchairs from Invacare. Like seriously, they did their homework

[@Vexle87]

As someone who is doing highschool chemistry, I understood enough of this to get by yet didn’t understand the right amount so it was still entertaining. The perfect balance of semi confused.

[@groovymanlive]

You’ll get there, don’t worry 😁

[@shiven513]

Hope you aced the test, what a cool way to show chemistry through media to further draw upon how it works. I could think of Fight Club's chemical scene in that realm

[@groovymanlive]

Haha thanks, I hope I pass too. It’s fun to see sound science in movie and TV, like in BB or Fight Club

[@Eswarramesh2428]

btw, its soo interesting that you chose this as your topic because I have also wondered about the chemistry behind this as well... why materials like teflon; polyethylene and neoprene are resistant to hydroflouric acid? I remember doing a descriptive writing assignment in one of my introductory chem courses.. so I am glad you're addressing this topic

[@groovymanlive]

Polyethylene is explained in the vid, and as for neoprene, it’s the same as PE, but 1 H atom is instead a Cl atom. Cl is in the same group as F, and only one period below, meaning it’s *almost* as electronegative. So it’s barely different from PE, and then teflon is already a fluoride so it wouldn’t react. This video was really fun to make lol

[@Eswarramesh2428]

@@groovymanlive wow, thanks for replying to my comment. I think the focal point of my writing assignment back in my introductory chem course was on teflon but that was a while back. I appreciate you explaining and clarifying it here. It certainly helps.

i found this while taking a break from chemistry homework and was not disappointed. i am in week 3 of a college class that's an intro to orgo, gen chem, and bio chem (and its an 8 week class so its a ton of info everyday) and loved how i understood what was going on! super simple explanation for those who are even just starting chemistry! you deserved the A!

[@Wyattsouper]

This is way too good to be a school project this is really well explained, and engaging to watch good job!

[@magicoddball1452]

I can't imagine the conversation about "so can I explain hydroflouric acid using an example from breaking bad where a human is dissolved?"

[@groovymanlive]

Yeah I had to make sure with my teacher. One of the assignment options was analyzing a scene from film/TV and I had to ask my teacher a couple times if I could do ANY scene and she was definitely a little reluctant 💀💀

Can’t you use caustic soda instead of hydrofluoric acid?
