Valentine conversations between HCl and NaOH

(Dedicated to my dear cadre of Michigan, USA)

Anant Babu Marahatta
Ph.D. student in Chemistry
Tohoku university
Japan

It is well known that both HCl and NaOH is strong acid and strong base respectively. During their conversations, they themselves confuse each other and request to the phenolphthalein (hph) for checking the neutralization. Here are their detail conversations:

HCl- Hi, how are you today?

NaOH- Hello!! I am ok, what about you? It’s so cold, isn’t it?

HCl- Yeah, you are right. It’s snowing too. The nature also supports the valentine couple like us.

NaOH- I agree. By the way, what’s your plan today? May I know?

HCl- Sure!! I am planning to react with strong base like you in the presence of hph even though we will be completely neutralized /destroyed at the end point.

NaOH- Showing chemical reaction is not a big deal but among us we have to be careful while acting as a titrant and titrand. I mean, who must be kept into the burette?

HCl- Yeah, that’s the good point. But it’s universally accepted that you must be pipetted out and kept into the receiver [conical flask] and I must be poured drop wise from the burette till the pink color of hph created by your OH ion disappeared. You must be shaked uniformly for the vigorous reaction.

NaOH- What do you think about me? I am not like NH4OH. I am as strong as you. One mole [Avogadro’s number] of you can be easily neutralized by one mole of me. Then why should I be kept into the receiver?

HCl- In terms of strength, I agree with your point. But you know, “Acid is acid”. We have to follow the scientific evidences otherwise there will be problematic during complete neutralization processing. And we must use hph properly so that it helps us to detect complete neutralization. It only gives the pink color dropped upon you which can be traced during reaction.

NaOH- Ok, I agree. But if I was made in China, the hph would not be the perfect indicator and I must have been kept into the burette. Any way, it’s out of our discussion.

HCl- In such case, methyl orange could be the best indicator but it is a rare case,however, valid to somebody else. Any way, we are at the end of our discussion now. Good luck!!

-------------Happy Valentine day!!!!-------------

Molecular Motors/Rotors/Brakes and Gyroscopes [Learn by fun!!!]

Anant Babu Marahatta
PhD student in chemistry
Tohoku University, Japan

One of the current aspects of chemistry is being a watch-dog of the nanoworld. I wonder how many of you are familiar with the microscopic machinery terms used in Chemistry that concentrates especially in the designation of the Molecular Machine. Some of them are Molecular motors, Molecular Rotors, Molecular Brakes, and Molecular Gyroscopes. You may find several of them by consulting the literatures/text books published so far.

I am sure that all of you [for the beginners only] are familiar with the “molecules” and the macroscopic devices such as Motors or Rotors or Brakes or Gyroscopes. But I think, very few of us [including chemists] have got the concrete knowledge about their applications in the nanoworld or in the Molecular machinery. We, the members of “Nepa Chem”, will assure our fellows/readers that the detail explanation with the proper schematic illustrations of all the mentioned molecular machinery devices will be posted in the days to come. For now, let me define them very shortly.



Molecular motors, Molecular Rotors, Molecular Brakes, and Molecular Gyroscopes, all these names are derived from their macroscopic analogues. Synthetic/computational chemists have already synthesized/designed the molecules or supra molecules which resembled mechanically to these macroscopic devices. Thus in this stage, you readers are about to catch the main point. I am sure that you all are thinking like this way; if the synthesized molecules/supra molecules resembled mechanically to that of the macroscopic rotating devices, then these molecules are called Molecular rotors. If the synthesized molecules/supra molecules resembled to that of the macroscopic motors [which contain rotors too, complexity arises], then these molecules are called Molecular motors.

"Dance your PhD" finalist of Chemistry

What's your Ph.D. research about? One works for ~5 yrs to get PhD degree and when time comes to explain it to other people it is not easy. Once way one can give a presentation.
Or you could dance and explain your research.
That's the idea behind "Dance Your Ph.D." Over the past 3 years, scientists from around the world have teamed up to create dance videos based on their graduate research and is organized by AAAS( American Association for Advancement of Science), an organization which publishes the Science journal.
This year's contest, launched in June by Science, received 45 brave submissions.
Judges—including scientists, choreographers, and past winners—announced the finalists in four categories: physics, chemistry, biology, and social sciences. Each receives $500.
The judges will announce the winner next month at the Imagine Science Film Festival in New York City. 
I am puting the one of the finalist dance video from chemistry catagory.

Poem: You have become a catalyst In every reaction of my heart

By Sunil Hamal

As firstly I glanced upon you
Love was precipitated in chemical point of View
Since then you were in my mind
I felt civitone was spread behind

Your oxygenic appearance
made my heart water as if it were of hydrogen
It started to warm up rapidly
Which used to be liquid nitrogen

In your facial electronic cloud
I found myself lost
You have become a catalyst
In every reaction of my heart

Once when you touched me
That acted as salt-bridge
Our hearts being electrods
Exchanged love with great ease

Why did the chicken cross the road? Science Jokes


Scientists have different answers for the same question.

Archimedes
A1 : To actualize its potential.
A2 : She was buoyant and excited at the thought of new adventures.
A3 : Eureka!

Robert Boyle : She had been under too much pressure at home.

Marie Curie : She was radiating with enthusiasm as she crossed the road.

Albert Einstein : Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your point of view. The chicken did not cross the road - it transcended it.

Chemistry Jokes: Humor Chemistry-I

1. What did one atom tell another? 
   - I think I lost an electron 
   - Are you sure? 
   - Yes, I'm positive. 

2. Heisenberg is out for a drive when he's stopped by a traffic cop. 
The cop says: " Do you know how fast you were going? 
Heisenberg replies: "No, but I know where I am".

Chemistry of LOVE: Valentines day Chemistry

February 14th is Valentines day. No need to explain about this day to you. You may be planning to celebrate this day in your way!! To find your love and to have a long term relationship, there is one saying that you should have right chemistry or chemistry should match. For two people to fall in love the chemistry between them has to be just right.

“In chemistry different atoms and compounds combine together to form stable molecules and complexes, In the same way, if you get the right two people they will react together and make a very stable combination."

Do you believe in love at first sight? Or that the subtle scent a person gives off can attract or repel you? Or would you like to know why chocolate just makes everything better? Is romance all about chemistry

Some chemicals that come across love.
