Making margarine from olive oil

@jaredgarden2455 - 2017-08-08

Hydrogenation :D thats the second one ive seen you do if im not mistaken.
Perhaps you could do a video on preparing a hydrogenation catalyst?
PtO2 is a rather easy one to prepare however its rather pyrophoric, Not sure how to go about impregnating palladium onto carbon but maybe that would be a more friendly less potentially explosive option, of coarse dry Pd/C is still pyrophoric but i think if its wet its rather safe as you demonstrated here.
Not sure if wet platinum is also safer to handle.

And dichloromethane has a boiling point of 39 degrees celsius while he heated the mixture far above that in the end. Him saying "it should probably be fine" has nothing to do with the sloppiness or carelessness of his methodology and execution and everything to do with the chaotic nature of chemistry itself. You would know this if you actually passed that grade 9 class.

Helium would go through faster since it's the smallest atom and is not diatomic like hydrogen.

@dustinsmith8341 - 2017-08-09

6alecapristrudel The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1, meaning just 1 proton is present. So if it's coupled, then it would have a mass of 2, 2 protons. Helium has an atomic mass of 4, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Hence, helium is still larger/heavier than H2.

@6alecapristrudel - 2017-08-09

Mass has nothing to do with it. It's all about atomic radius, which is determined by the size of the electron orbitals. The size of a nucleus has a tiny direct contribution to the size of an atom. But as nuclei become more and more charged they pull the electrons further in. If you remember your periodic table atoms get smaller the further to the right they are. That and helium's extra electron is located in the same 1s orbital as hydrogen's electron, but with opposite spin. This means that no new shell is created and therefore the atom does not get bigger and in fact it gets smaller.

@6alecapristrudel - 2017-08-09

And even if hydrogen were smaller it would only be by a little bit. It would have to be less than half the size of helium in order for H2 to be smaller than He. And that is laughably wrong.
