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.



POSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
