Nail polish

Nail polish is something that girls put on their nails, if you didn't know, but yes they contain a lot of chemicals that make some of them chip ressitant, even though they chip anyway. (false advertising anybody?) But yes clear coats are made of nitrocellulose, which give them that beautiful shine when you use it as a top coat.

chemistry of life

There's chemistry around you at every turn. No matter where you look there will be some type of chemistry that is occurring. Whether theres a car on the street or the device you are using to read this thing, it all boils down to chemistry. All the plants and everything that is seen all has chemicals in it. To the toothbrush you use to the pants you put on to the nail polish you use everything is chemistry.

chemistry in food

When you bake cookies, or pie you just mix the ingredients and put the product n the oven. Do you ever wonder how that batter turns into something solid that you can hold in your hand? Well that all belongs to chemistry. Thanks to Anessa's post I learned the perfect proportion of things can cause a chemical reaction to occur and the mixing of certain things to your batter can make the end result a little better. This relates to chemistry because with out it we cannot do anything that involves baking and/or cooking.

Brushing teeth is fun!!!

Teeth Brushing is a common practice among the humans of this earth (and maybe even beyond ya never know). Justine explained the components of tooth paste.“hydrates silica, calcium carbonate, aluminum oxides, and various phosphates of calcium or aluminum”. These things are used for many different puposes as well like chalk and sand. (yummy!) But ya Brush yo teeth.

Salt is cool

Salt is cool like Annessa!!!( Love ya girl :) ) we put it on our food and we put it on our food and so on. Sometimes we add too much and we just like  ya just like that. But food is not the only thing we use salt we use it to melt ice as well. The ice used is made of sodium chloride like table salt but chemicals are added to it as well. When an something not known is being added to water it causes the water to melt such as salt and it is called Freezing Point Depression. So ya cool.

bubble gum!!!!

Buble gum is great! It was originally chemists made up ofsap of a tree called chicle but now chemists learned to make gum using synthetic rubber. Of course there is also Flavors and colors added to it. But this relates to chemistry because chemists made it up.

Makeup is fab

Make up is usually used to protect in some cases, cover up in others, and just to play around in some cases. But did you know that makeup has very harsh chemicals according to Sarah  http://avogadrosalad.wordpress.com/page/2/. She is great. Anyway ya so they have to like remove the bins of makeup because they damage the bins. Honestly this is why i rarely wear makeup. Maybe i can create a really good safe brand of makeupin the future HHMMMMM.....anyway moral of the story be careful of what you clump on your face everyday. :)

SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to dhara http://captainchemistry.tumblr.com/ I now know what makes teeth whiteners  whiten your teeth. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. When this is put on your teeth it attacks two layers of your teeth the enamel and the dentin. See this is why i don't use teeth whiteners. They can really hurt you teeth, and i like my teeth and plan to keep them for a while.

UNDAWATER

Yay Dhara!!! http://captainchemistry.tumblr.com/page/3We can't breathe under water (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzrUuMXcDrA) if you watch the first twenty seconds of this video it can testify that we cannot breathe under water. 2 Hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen and we cannot absrob the O2 in the water. But le poissons can easily bretahe under water.

lets talk about soap!!!!!!!!

Soap is cool. It makes your hands clean most of the time....  I'm one of those people who does not like the soap dispensers at school. Yes i said it. Someone had to right. And then there's that one bathroom that does not have a soap dispenser. Like what? But  have you ever wondered how soap works. I wouldn't have until Patrick mentioned it on his blog. (http://alltheothergoodurlsargon.tumblr.com/). So the main ingredients are triglycerides and  alkali. triglycerides are hydrophobic and alkali are hydrophilic. The triglyceride bonds with the dirt, and the alkali stays and washes it off.

hot air balloons

Hot air balloons are cool. They use chemistry to help them stay afloat. They use hydrogen. Chemistry is also involved in making the fabric and keeping it durable so that it will not rip or anything. YAY! I never knew this until i read Justine's chem blog. http://justine-chem-5.tumblr.com/page/2. So ya.

GUMMY BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes!

Gummy bears are great. Since i run cross country I've learned that they are  good snack to eat after a race or before. But i did not know that by adding potassium chlorate to a beaker and heating it up then putting a gummy bear in the beaker it could cause purple fire. The reaction occurs between the sucrose in the gummy bear and the air around there and the potassium chlorate, it then creates carbon dioxide and water and potassium chlorite. YAY!  I didn't know this but Lindsey at http://chemistry2013-14.tumblr.com/taught me. YAY for gummy bear explosions. But ya this relates to chemistry because there is a reaction that occurs and then products are given at the end.

yay for spicy food

spicy food anybody? Tis my favorite thing especially hot sauce. I put it on anything, and everything. Well why does spicy food fell or taste so spicy how bout spencer tells you linked here http://okspenco.tumblr.com/. But ya like we aren't really even tasting real spiciness it is just a feeling when the capsaicin hits your VR1 receptors. Which is quiet cool like its not even real tho. But ya there you have it. Spicy food is not really that spicy so suck it up and eat some. I think i will. anyway enjoy your day.

yay for chocolate

Who doesn't like chocolate?  Not me. But i never knew that chocolate had so much chemistry in it. You have to temper it to make it glossy and sheeny as ZOE ORLINO said in her blog (http://ch-e-mis-t-ry.tumblr.com/) She was so nice as to explain why chocolate gets all clumpy when you try to melt it. It is quite the job if i say so myself. To maintain the bonds of chocolate and help it separate you have to add like butter or some type of oil or milk. I love chocolate and this relates to chemistry because you have to break the bonds and such which is chemistry.


and yes i did choose the most decedant chocolate pictures so that you would go out and buy some.

DINOSAURS ARE BACK????

WHAT!!! no i'm kidding.... it was funny right i know you believed it i know you did.....Don't lie to yourself. Well anyway scientist think now that the extinction of dinosaurs were due to acid rain. When an asteroid hit rocks rich of sulfur. this could have released sulfur trioxide. Which could have released acid rain and melted basically everything in sight. This relates to what we are learning to specifically because it talks about sulfur tioxide and we learned how to write that in chemical form which is S03 which looks like a polyatomic ion but it is not because it needs a sign like a negative or positive. YAY!!!!

Jelly!

Is jelly a solid, liquid, gas? Who can ever tell? OHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!! I can!!! Well Dhara can tell you actually but i learned it from her. In the powder form of jelly there is a protein called collagen. This is what gives us our flexibility and strength because it is also located in us.  Wow!!!!! we are like jelly. what do ya know??? Anyway the collagen is bonded by triple helix hydrogen bonds.  When the jelly is heated teh bonds move freely but when it cools the chains of protein get entangled making them more liquid like and when is sets it becomes wobbly. YAY!!!


THANKS DHARA!! FOLLOW HER ON HER CHEMISTRY BLOG

Pop that corn!

Popcorn is everybody's favorite snack whether it is the healthy no butter kind or the full of salt butter, and cheese kind. Whatever it may be The kernel of popcorn is coated with butter and when it is put in the microwave the pressure builds up because it does not have enough room for the steam so it builds and builds and builds until POP! the kernel pops and then you take it out of the microwave and you can eat it. THANKS MEGAN!

why are you sad onion....?

Well the onion is not the only one crying for being cut in half. you yourself are crying. and why would this happen lets ask Mr. Westervelt who has a very good explanation for this. http://alltheothergoodurlsargon.tumblr.com/ I know this does not explain a lot ( follow him anyway and me if you already haven't) of what is going on but I will help you with that. When you cut into an onion cells break as naturally they would when you cut something. Sulfenic acids are formed from the amino acids in the cells, and enzymes that were once told to stay away from the sulfenic acids decide to be rebels and mingle with them. This forms S-oxides, and this flies into your eye, and reacting with your tears making you cry just a little. But one thing i learned from the Boxcar Children I believe (dont quote me on it) that if you cut an onion under water it will not make you cry. Fascinating right? When under water the chemicals cannot escape. Also refrigerating the onion can help slow the process down and not make you cry a lot.

yo! gurt!

Who doesn't like yogurt? You? No? Not you? Your friend? You best friends moms uncle's cousin's wife's brother? Ya him? Okay cool. But since you do like yogurt let me tell you the chemistry behind it. It is all made from some old milk and bacteria. Sounds delicious right? But u said you liked it...so..... The milk is fermented by bacteria. The lactose in the milk, C12H22O11, changes to lactic acid C3H6O3. This makes the milk thicker and it lowers the pH level. The acidity of the fermentation gives the tanginess to the yogurt. Then from there you can add the flavoring like strawberry, bayberry, and stickberry! Do you see what I did there? Like straw, hay, and stick like the cows eat the.....whatever.......I know you really understood and you just did not want to admit it. :p

Pop Rocks!!!!!

Pop rocks are a very popular candy that is out on the market. Some people believe that a boy died from eating pop rocks and chugging some soda which is very untrue. That could not cause you to die what so ever. Then thing that makes pop rocks pop in your mouth is the carbon dioxide that is trapped in the candy. When the saliva dissolves then candy the carbon dioxide is released and it pops in your mouth. I never knew that pop rocks contain carbon dioxide just like soda although not as much. The pop rocks are not dangerous so I'm pretty sure that eating them is safe.
