    Attended one of his lectures when I was a chemical engineering student. Absolutely focused and brilliant man! I was a bit of an undercover nerd in college though ;P A little advice for the up an coming, if you like chemistry, just go with chem E you will not find a decent paying or maybe even a job at all with just a plain chemistry degree unless you want a Phd or teach. Anyway why not get the best of both worlds, mechanics and chemistry! Good luck to all in their studies! One other thing you don't have to be a genius, just love what you do. I wouldn't have called myself a star pupil in highschool.

    Despite never being interested in science subjects at school I really enjoy watching this series of films now. Unfortunately I suffer from sleep disturbance, really am able to sleep at night and, instead, sleep during the day. At this time of year it becomes rather difficult for me as my great love is gardening and, by the time I am awake, there is little or no light left in which to work in the garden and I would be deeply touched to anyone reading this who would include me in their thoughts and prayers to assist me overcome this horrendous malady of sleep disturbance.

    A word of correction at 1:49 The professor said the chromium was in CrO4²- (chromate ion) state, when actually it was _actually_ in the Cr2O7²- (dichromate ion state), since we started with potassium dichromate.

    klugeskind90 I think it s a redox reaction too cause o- from peroxide is oxidized to o2 so either the chromate or dichromate should reduce. So it s not an acid base equilibrium as you suggest.

    1:43 The chromium is actually not oxidized in the reaction he mentions there. The oxidation state of chromium doesn't change in that reaction (stays at 6+), but rather the oxidation state of 3 of the 4 oxygen atoms in the chromate change from 2- to 1- (and an oxygen with oxidation state 1- is added from the hydrogen peroxide).

    Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong.

And the poor kid is like "it's nothing to worry about, I'm fine."
