That is an interesting point!

[@mortlet5180]

Not Not Good Gaming; Many functional groups are quite sensitive to UV though... Might be better to use a collimated light source (like a red laser with a greatly expanded beam width) to illuminate both phases from the side.

[@mememem]

Rural areas virtually always have lower rates of crime than urban areas.

[@KuraIthys]

Not really. Though there is some variance, crime rates are pretty much proportional to population. If there's 30 robberies per 100,000 people per week, then in a city of 1 million, that means 300 people are getting robbed a week. If you're talking about a town of 500, or even a rural area with far les than that... Well, let's say you have 10 robberies in that town in a year... How much crime is this, proportionally speaking? Well, 500 people, 10 crime in 52 weeks... 10/52 crimes per week, 500 / 100,000 people.... ~ 0.192 / 0.005 that's 38.5 crimes a week per 100,000 people, which is higher than the crime rate in the city. That's a contrived example of course, but if you put enough people together it might seem like there's lots of crime, but that's only because there's lots of people. For the amount of people there are, crime rates are typically quite consistent, and can even tend to be slightly higher in rural areas than in cities, in general. Crime rates do vary enormously by region though, irrespective of whether you're talking about cities or rural areas. Even different parts of the same city can have vastly different crime rates though...

Omg you just brought me BACK

[@IndomitablegamingYT]

why do you lowkey look like an Asian Elon musk?

[@ace-kz9id]

@miyuki yup and i cant unsee him as that now

[@TPepeProductions]

Dr: Asian Elon Musk does not exist. He cannot hurt you Asian Elon Musk: Today, I'm going to show you how to turn Asprin into candy...

[@FunnyMemes-dr3se]

NileRed talks a bit like Elon when looking at the camera too...

[@zach7482]

Nah, Nile's leagues above Elon. He doesn't exploit workers, and act like an old man trying to be hip. And Nile is actually smart.

When orgo chem took over your life last year so you knew the reagents needed before they were even mentioned lmao

[@justins7154]

I wish NileRed was around during highschool for me, he makes chemistry look like so much fun, his video's are more pratical and straight forward vs the standard high school chem teacher saying mol this and mol that. Honestly if we could make chemistry more experiment based like Nile's videos more people would be enjoying chemistry.

I would not have ingested that much. I have used it topically. a few drops rubbed into a leg. i was using so much it absorbed into my body and i began to radiate the smell. I stopped using it after that. there was no ill effect. i just smelled very minty. This is a great video. thanks for sharing it!!

I have a question Nile (or anyone else who might know). I ingested about 5mL of something containing 2% salicylic acid (liquid), (don't ask) and surprisingly enough after 7 weeks am still working on recovery. I am heavily interested in sciences and have taken this experience as an opportunity to learn a bit more about chemistry. After the initial ingestion, I drank about 2 glasses of water. They say not to try to neutralize these sorts of things in case of causing additional heat burns from exothermic reactions, but i decided to eat some baking soda after the water to try to remove any possible left over acid in the esophagus. My question is this: did that do anything at all at that point? Make it worse or better? And how would one calculate how much heat is released in a reaction, in general?

[@Negotiator007]

Methyl Salicylate is also used as a fragrance in toilet bowl cleaners made with Hydrochloric Acid . I use it all the time, has a very potent smell and never thought it was used as a flavoring.

[@mikeyadams]

Dude just made the ultimate confidence booster. Fresh breath and no headaches? PATENT THIS!

[@nayavith6976]

I Like edible chemistry !

[@raptlesnake]

hey Nilered great video as always. i am a chemist my self and i was wondering if you can do a video about urine there arent a lot of videos about that in youtube

[@NileRed]

I plan to eventually get urea from urine.

[@jxi5671]

NileRed a bit of watersports?;)

[@raptlesnake]

i didnt except to answer my question so quick... you are the best man. yes it would be very intresting. but i dont know if you have seen some students in Sweden made a device that turns urine into water wich is really amazing , if you know more about this process it would be great if you can also included in the video. again thanks and keep up the amazing work

[@dalitas]

vangjel simoni cody's lab did one about urine and gunpowder I believe

[@TheRedKnight101]

sounds like urine in luck

[@deutscher1a]

2 things nile always does since years: 1. Terrible yield for everything(with various reasons[we lied about our starting amount to go to expected yield during training - but it never was that off]) 2. Somethin is extremly stron smelling/tasting "its kinda okay and wears off fast"(see the island vid for reference)
